Reserve un piso en cualquier parte del mundo y la próxima crítica de 5 estrellas podría ser la suya.
During the last 12 days of my stay there was no hot water in the house. It was not fixed before I left, and there was basically no communication (I always had to ask for updates myself), no apology, no offer of a refund.
I think the house could be well-run and a nice option, but there is a complete lack of organization and communication and interest in taking care of the guests, so all in all I cannot recommend this place.
Ok for the good position and for a few-day stays, but I wouldn't recommend it for longer stays.
Due to a personal situation we rented the apartment at Calle Horno for an indefinite period and made our situation clear to Encarni, the house owner, from the start.
She told us repetitive times that “we could count on renting the apartament for as much time as we needed” and we took her word for it.
After having rented the apartament for various months - and having been responsible and respectful tenants, we received a 17 days notice from her behalf telling us that we should leave the apartment.
This message took us by surprise since it was the opposite of what she had previously communicated to us, and it of course created many problems for us given the short time notice.
We paid each and every rent on time, took good care of the apartment and premises, followed all house and coexistence rules to the letter. Thus, it is needless to say that we were treated unfairly by the house owner and that her actions were not only cruel, but also inhumane. We would have expected at least a one-month’s notice.
Other than this it is worth mentioning that the apartment is in a reasonable condition. The village is around 25 minutes from Granada by bus and the bus comes almost every hour (but not every hour), except on Sundays when the bus only comes around 3 times. There are no supermarkets/shops in the village, you can just find two restaurants - one that opens most days in the week and another one that opens like once a week. Therefore, if you are looking for convenience, this is not the best option.
Dúdar is nice with its mountain views and the river passing by, and the locals are mostly friendly.
The house’s neighbor is not the friendly-est though. He complained a few times about “noise” coming from our TV (although it was being played at a normal volume), and he also complained a few times about the kids who used to play in front of the house - also because of the “noise” they used to make. He even threw a few eggs at them once…
Although I asked the landlady to arrange cleaning and repairs, she said the cleaner was unavailable, and despite claiming she contacted other services, nothing changed for three days. She admitted the apartment was neglected and needed cleaning, but still didn’t arrange it.
She also accused me of pressuring her to move in earlier, even though she had asked for an extra day to prepare the flat — which I agreed to — yet the apartment was still in terrible condition. Her only solution was that I leave early, which she considered fair. I did not, as the apartment was too dirty to work, sleep, or live in.
I had to leave and find another place. Very unpleasant experience — I do not recommend this apartment.
HOST'S REPLY:
Byt byl nájemnici předán osobně při nastěhování a v daný moment nebyly vzneseny žádné výhrady. Připomínky začaly přicházet až s odstupem času. Na každou z nich jsem reagovala bezodkladně. Kontaktovala jsem techniky na internet, objednala nový kávovar, řešila možnost úklidu a opakovaně komunikovala s poskytovateli služeb. O všech krocích byla nájemnice průběžně informována.
Vzhledem k tomu, že některé požadavky nebylo možné vyřešit okamžitě (zejména z důvodu dostupnosti externích služeb), nabídla jsem férové řešení formou předčasného ukončení pobytu. Toto řešení bylo nakonec realizováno dohodou přes platformu Flatio a s částečným vrácením nájemného, se kterým nájemnice souhlasila.
Je mi líto, že pobyt nesplnil očekávání nájemnice, nicméně z mé dlouhodobé zkušenosti i historie hodnocení na Flatio (dlouhodobě 5/5) je zřejmé, že se jednalo o mimořádnou a nestandardní situaci, kdy očekávání a standardy nebyly na obou stranách v souladu.
Byt byl po odjezdu převzat zpět bez jakýchkoliv dalších připomínek a spolupráce byla oficiálně uzavřena dle pravidel platformy.
Zároveň bych ráda doplnila, že veškeré nahlášené záležitosti byly po odjezdu nájemnice vyřešeny. Byt je nyní po generálním úklidu, s plně funkčním internetem, odpady i novým vybavením a je připraven v plném standardu pro další hosty.
I moved out the next day. I moved my possessions out the day after. The host refused to refund the rent I paid from when I moved everything out on the 3rd of October until the 31st. They are a scam. I've had to get my bank involved. I can't imagine anyone staying there even for a short holiday.
The kitchen had very few utensils, and most of them were dirty from previous guests. The apartment is very dark, most of the light bulbs don’t work, and overall it was not clean. The closets were full of the owner’s boxes and bags, leaving almost no space for us.
The apartment is advertised as having a sofa bed, but there is a sign saying that it cannot be used because it breaks easily and that we would have to pay €800 if it broke. Also, the m
Thankfully, the cleaning staff noticed us, checked our documents, contacted their supervisors, and managed to find a vacant apartment for us. We’re very grateful for their help — especially since we had small children and it was already late, so finding another place would have been almost impossible.
Unfortunately, the apartment we were given was much smaller and in worse condition than the one we had originally booked. The manager didn’t offer any compensation for the difference, never apologized, and made no effort to take responsibility for what happened.
From a technical standpoint, the lock on my door was faulty, and I was once locked out because of it. Additionally, the rug in the room caused me an allergy. When I asked for a vacuum cleaner to clean it, the owner refused. Overall, I do not recommend staying at her place.
Unfortunately, my experience with host Emma Cano was very disappointing. Key amenities such as the mobile AC, printer, and scanner were not provided as advertised. The host frequently changed house rules, limited kitchen access, and spoke to tenants in a disrespectful manner. Despite trying to comply and communicate, the environment became uncomfortable.
I strongly recommend Flatio, but do not recommend this particular host or property.
Prach na zásuvkách a vypinačích,nesvitolo velké světlo v koupelně a nešlo topení. Byla jen prikrývka pro dva,ale spala jsem na gauči, postel je malá. Tedy chyběla další přikrývka. Paní přinesla baterie do ovládáni topení a žárovku,ale to není moje práce davat do lampy žarovku.
Zrušen pobyt a nikomu tohle nedoporučím.
On the positive side, the unit itself is newly renovated and in good condition. It includes a small bedroom, a very compact bathroom, and a functional kitchen. Overall, it’s suitable for a maximum of two people, but be aware of the size discrepancy and potential construction noise.
He then gave me a vacuum cleaner and cleaning supplies so I could clean everything myself. I have photos of this, but it is obviously difficult to capture this on camera. Everything in the house, including my room, smelled terrible of cigarettes and everything was musty. Even the bedding that was lying on my bed (in a pile). The green mat was also really dirty and musty. So it was clear that no one had been in the room for a long time. What's more, there were still things in the closet that he would pick up “when he had the chance.”
It also turned out that the door to my room was completely transparent and could only be closed with a hook. The bathroom couldn't be closed either. So I have no privacy at all.
The kitchen and bathroom, which we have to share, were also extremely dirty. Michal was not prepared for my arrival. The dishwasher was full of moldy stuff. When I was away for a while on Sunday afternoon, he quickly gave the kitchen and bathroom a superficial clean.
When I want to use the toilet, I notice that someone has urinated all over the seat.
I was planning to stay there for 4 months and only stayed 2 days.
Bei der Sauberkeit und der Übereinstimmung der Wohnung mit den inserierten Fotos gab es jedoch deutliche Unterschiede: insgesamt präsentiert sich die Wohnung deutlich abgelebter als es der frisch renovierte Zustand auf den Fotos vermuten lässt und entspricht bezogen auf die Sauberkeit nicht unbedingt dem nordeuropäischen Standard. Einige Bereiche wie z.B. der Backofen, die Fußleisten, einige Schränke, der Großteil der Türen und eine Jalousie waren stark verschmutzt, sehr abgenutzt oder so beschädigt, dass eine Nutzung nicht oder nur teilweise möglich war. Der Laminatboden war an einigen Stellen aufgequollen. Andere Bereiche wie z.B. der Kühlschrank, die Bettlaken, Handtücher und die Toilette fand ich sauber vor. Aufgrund meiner Hausstauballergie hatte ich allerdings etwas zu kämpfen und konnte nicht ohne mein Spray in der Wohnung übernachten.
Der angegebene Trockner (Dryer) entpuppte sich als leicht verrosteter Wäscheständer, der mit einer Plastiktüte notdürftig an einem Geländer festgebunden war. Der Balkon zur Straße hinaus ist dagegen sehr schön angelegt und lädt zum Entspannen ein. Warmwasser muss aktiv beim Bezug eingeschaltet werden und es dauert dann 20 Minuten, bis es nutzbar ist. Ggf. wäre es hier etwas gastfreundlicher, wenn das Putzteam dies vorab schon mit der Grundreinigung einschalten könnte.
Die Lage der Wohnung ist dagegen sehr positiv hervorzuheben. Die Nachbarschaft ist sehr ruhig, die Schlafräume sind zum Innenhof hin ausgerichtet. Eine Vielzahl von Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants ist im unmittelbaren Umfeld der Wohnung zu finden. Die Busstation Galaxias befindet sich nur 3 Gehminuten entfernt (an dieser hält auch der Expressbus zum Flughafen). Die Metrostation Ambelokipi liegt ca. 11 Gehminuten entfernt. Es sind nur 3 Stationen bis zum Zentrum Syntagma.
When we informed the owner about this issue, he responded only after several days. Despite that, the neighbor continued playing music, sometimes until 10 PM ( the owner was aware of the neighbor’s DJ practice because he told us himself). We also discovered that the wall separating us from the next neighbors was very thin, like paper (it looked like it was one apartment that they divided into two using a thin wall). We could clearly hear noises from washing machines, shower, and running taps, which made sleeping very difficult.
Throughout our stay, we did not get a good night’s sleep even once. The owner always responded very late, and eventually, we had to leave and find another place, which was very challenging in the middle of summer. Communication with the owner was minimal and complicated.
We definitely cannot recommend this place. It is falsely advertised as quiet, but it is impossible to get any rest there. We travel all the time and rent apartments, but this was our worst experience.
