First of all, it is habitable. But the picture it gave was very wrong, this is not a hotel but a famous inn. You will be living in a house with two other tenants. The shower drain was clogged and the water was overflowing.

Due to arriving outside the scheduled check-in time, we had to stay in a nearby location, with similar conditions, the landlord kindly quickly provided us with this solution, very clean common areas, comfortable bed. Clean towels. Nice views of the sea. The only thing to improve perhaps is the cleanliness of the room (sheets and floor). Otherwise perfect.

As a long-time traveler, this is the first time I have encountered such an irresponsible accommodation. I thought I was scammed No owner, no contact. With the help of strangers in Italy, I was barely contacted. I was able to enter Koreans sincerely hope that no one stays here. I plan to complain to Trip.com as well. This is because you have been assigned a room of a different type (1 king) from what you reserved (1 queen size, 1 single)

I did not feel good here…. I kept thinking the whole night that we could be trapped there. 1 heavy entry door with automatic lock inside. Same for the second heavy rod iron gate . If that lock malfunctioned when trying to get out? Just dark huge building with windows facing not really sure what ( another apartment). Clean, conveniently located, big enough…. Just the layout and getting in/out - I was glad when we left after one night.

Terrific Bed and Accomodations We were greeted by Matteo who accommodated our stay. The bed was fantastic but the floor was clearly not mopped for quite sometime and was dirty. The room was large and inviting with a balcony window and a medium size bathroom. The room, however, was designed for tall people as the closet Rod and shower head could not be easily reached. The kitchen was conveniently located steps away from our room and was open all day with all amenities for a great breakfast.
