Not what we expected but in the end ok
So first of all finding this house was not easy. If you come by car finding a parking spot will not be easy and unloading is somewhat of a challenge bc there’s no place to stop and do so. The streets are super narrow where the house is so driving around trying to find it was very stressful. When we finally found it, it was easy to get in with the code and the instructions they sent included a pic of the keypad so this was helpful. There is NO ONE on the premises for questions. We had to do everything via what’s app texts. We asked for their largest apartment/room and were prepared to pay for it and did pay the top price. When we got into the room it was super tiny with slanted ceilings. No place to put your luggage and it was not clear how to turn on the AC. The house is all very newly remodeled and nicely done in a scant modern style. However my husband is very tall so this room was a disaster for us. I thought my email and messaging were clear what we wanted/needed but apparently not. When I was texting with them they person actually told me to calm down.. very rude. Perhaps this was just somehow lost in translation but I was very disappointed. The picture they show you of the space you are renting is not what we actually got. The room they showed had large windows and lots of light with a door opening to the outside where you can look out and let fresh air in. Too bad there’s no way to post pics here. It was a shock to see what I thought I was getting and what I actually got. When I complained they said, “you rented room 6 and this is what you got”. End of story, no discussion, when in fact I didn’t rent a room number at all. This wasn’t even an option. I for what I got. When I asked if someone was there to help with the AC they said perhaps tmrw if I’m lucky there will be a cleaning person or the owner. Eventually we gave up with the ac and went for dinner and when we returned it was working, my husband is an engineer and we couldn’t figure it out. All of this could have been avoided with good instructions how this all worked and if they at the beginning advertised each room separately so you knew what you were getting. Btw the bathroom is so tiny you can shower and sit on the toilet at the same time and the person standing in the room gets to watch you bc it’s all glass. So if you are shy this isn’t gonna work for you. We will not return to this place. The town is cute but honestly unless you are cycling or hiking it makes no sense to stay.
