Dirty and smelly room, not the same as the pictures, unfriendly owner

1.0

Nothing!! It was really bad.

− We booked it for august for a short 4 days stay. We arrived and saw that the room was really dirty and unhygienic. Especially the bathroom. There were hairs on the bed en the bathroom was even worse. Dirty shower also alot of soap residue build up, stuff on the toilet, dirty showergel and shampoo bottle, dirty cup. As if it wasn’t even cleaned. And alot more. Also the bed was tiny and very low, not a comfortabel bed at al, very cheap! The room was different then advertised. I contacted the owner immediatly, but he was unfriendly and did not want to help or give a refund! We lost an entire day finding another stay and paying again. This was only a 4 day stay, so to lose a day and money is not a great start. I would NOT recomend this place!!!

Fußweg zur Akropolis 30 Minuten Nach ausdrücklicher Beschwerde konnten wir kostenfrei stornieren.

− Die Sauberkeit war eine Katastrophe! Massig Haare im Bett, tote Fliegen auf dem Boden, Lippenstift auf den Gläsern, dreckige Küche, dreckiger Schrank, dreckiges Bad.

Bezproblemowy odbiór kluczy, bardzo dobra lokalizacja zaraz przy stacji metra. Apartament w porządku, było czysto. Łóżko wygodne. Dobry kontakt z gospodarzem.

− W apartamencie od samego wejścia unosił się nieprzyjemny zapach. Gospodarz podjął działania by to naprawić niestety nie przyniosło to długotrwałego efektu. TV nie działał mimo zgłoszenia problemu nie został on rozwiązany. Bardzo słaby sygnał WiFi musieliśmy korzystać z własnego internetu w telefonie.

Definitely recommend it for short-term trips (up to a couple of days)

7.0

The location is great, the apartment has a lovely balcony on the internal courtyard side, so it is very quite there. The apartment itself was very clean and spacious with all the necessities there (microwave could be a good addition, though). Definitely recommend it!

− Internet connection is terrible: youtube is barely usable. The host told me that they'll contact the provider, but during the week I stayed there it didn't get any better.
