Bottom Line: great location - only 5min walk to the beach, but it feels like the amenities listed are more to “check the block” in order to raise the price.
PROS:
- Location. In a wonderful neighborhood close to bars, restaurants, beach and grocery.
- air conditioning. Unit worked pretty well; never had an issue
- communication response time. Unfortunately we had to contact the host x5 times, but thankfully each time we reached out she was prompt to answer.
CONS:
- washer. Listing a washer as an amenity is a pretty big deal because customers trust that the information is accurate. Unfortunately on our second day we had to contact the host because the appliance was taped together with clear packing tape and we could not figure out how to open it. The host was quick to send a maintenance person to show us how to open. On day 4 we had utilized every setting on the washer but clothes came out soaked wet with soap still on clothes and clearly still dirty. After contacting host multiple times, we were told we probably used too much soap however this is impossible to confirm since no maintenance personnel were sent to inspect the actual issue. Additionally there appears to be mold on the wall behind the washer. Either way - the washer did not work and we had to pay to utilize local laundry mat.
- photos. The photos utilized in listing are outdated and DO NOT accurately represent the current condition of the apartment. I was honestly a little shocked to see the damages to doors and floor boards, chips on counters, and walls very dirty and marked up. Honestly looks like the pictures were taken 10 years ago.
** pro tip - if you are planning to stay more than 2 days we recommend bringing your own toilet paper, we stayed for 8 days and had to buy our own because we were given one roll with no spares.
Overall: this location is ideal for short stays (no more than 3-4) but I would not stay at this location for more than seventy euro a night. Paying anything over night is completely ludicrous and I would never stay here again for this price.
