I’m extremely disappointed with our experience renting an apartment from this agency. Unfortunately, there were several issues that made our stay far from enjoyable. This has been our 7th time booking and we haven't had any problems like this before..
Firstly, the access to the property was not at all clear on the website. My husband is a cyclist, and we also have a baby, so the numerous stairs to the building and up to the apartment were a huge challenge. Nowhere on the website was it mentioned that the access would be so difficult. This is definitely not a family-friendly or bike-friendly property, and it should be stated upfront. We were told when we reported it that it said no lift...but it should have actually stated how inaccessible the access is.
Secondly, the cleanliness of the apartment was absolutely unacceptable. When we arrived, we had to brush the floors ourselves, and to our horror, we discovered fresh stains on the walls. Upon closer inspection, we realised they were vomit stains. The apartment was filthy, and it was shocking that it had been left in such a condition.
To make matters worse, on our first night, we were left without heating. It was freezing, especially with a 2-year-old child in the apartment. This is something that should have been checked before our arrival. Especially considering we arrived late after a delayed flight and the office was closed so we couldn't report anything.
When we contacted the agency, their response was less than satisfactory. They offered to arrange for cleaners and a 15% discount on our first night—equating to a mere 15 euros, which felt like an insult given the poor condition of the apartment.
We’ve never had issues with this agency before and have always been good tenants, but this experience has completely changed our perspective. I was also told today that they offer different types of apartments at different price points, and it turns out we paid for one that wasn’t even properly cleaned. Very disappointing.
We will definitely think twice before booking with this agency again.
