The property was close to public transport and shops/supermarket

− Initially I was having issues opening the door to the apartment but once Agelos came & showed me properly all was good after that. The shower is small but manageable & the bed squeaks / mattress too soft for me - I prefer a firmer mattress. Everything else about the place is nice & very clean!

You get what you pay for.

Although the location was convenient for us, the first day of our stay the apartment smelled like fuel oil. The smell was very strong since the apartment os on the ground floor. The host told us that it was coming from the central heating system in the basement. The smell subsided the next day and was totally gone the third day. Also the bed was small and squeaky, which made a loud noise anytime you lay down or get up. If you’re getting up a lot during the night, be prepared for your partner to wake up with you! So to be fair, you get what you are paying for. Despite the budget friendly price, I think guests deserve an intact bath towel that is not torn.

− The heavy fuel oil smell and torn bath towel.

Maybe location

− One of the worst accommodation experiences we’ve had. The apartment is squeezed among other buildings to the point where barely any daylight enters the space, making it feel dark and claustrophobic throughout the day. Cleanliness was also unacceptable. The cleaning service appeared non-existent, with oily and sticky surfaces even in the bathroom. The absolute cherry on top, however, was the electricity being cut off on the third day of our stay. It strongly appeared that the owners simply had not paid the bill. Instead of proactively helping, they avoided responsibility entirely, leaving me to repeatedly call and chase for updates while we remained without power for over 9 hours. At around 23:30, and after me having to call once again, we were finally offered an alternative accommodation, which we naturally rejected due to the complete lack of trust by that point. We are still awaiting a refund through Booking.com, which we hope will be processed soon. Avoid at all costs, it's a shame I cannot attach videos.

That I left or even run out from the apartment after one night.

− The apartment was not cleaned for my arrival, the host was rude to me and I felt like it was my problem that I want to have an apartment available. When the apartment was cleaned, it was still very dirty (f.i. Somebody’s hair under the shower). The pictures of the apartment and the name „premium” do no reflect the reality. The apartment is dark and the „city view” is a view of an ugly backyard, where it smells of gasoline. The apartment is actually on a ground floor, by the stairs to the basement, where smells of cat urine. I also have bugs in my bed. And the price (which is higher) does not reflect the quality. I filed an official complaint to the booking.com
