I'm not sure how this property or host has received positive reviews. The only positive aspect was the low price. Apart from that, everything else about this 3-bedroom flat on the 2nd floor, with no lift, was disappointing. Contrary to what was stated, it was a 40-minute walk from the airport, not 20 minutes. Furthermore, each room was rented separately and had two single beds designed for children. If the property is fully booked, you could potentially be sharing one bathroom and one toilet with five other people. As a single woman, I shared with three other people, a situation that could potentially be dangerous. I've never experienced anything like this before in my life.
Deobra, the host, was unpleasant, pushy, and aggressive. She insisted that I arrive at the apartment by 4pm, which was the same time as my flight arrival. She stated that she doesn't work 24 hours and if I arrived later than 4pm, I'd have to wait for her.
I initially thought a 20-minute walk wouldn't be too difficult, but I was wrong. In 37C heat, I was pulling my suitcase while she drove past me in her car. It would have been hard for anyone to miss me struggling with my suitcases on her street, but she offered no help. I arrived at her building soaked in sweat from the heat.
Upon meeting, Deobra quickly explained how to use the keys without giving me a chance to recover from the heat. We all know how to unlock doors with keys, but the bedroom lock was old and difficult to lock.
Without offering a glass of water, she wrote an invoice. She mentioned that the bus stop was behind the building, but there was nowhere to buy a ticket. Moreover, there was no WiFi to download the app to purchase a ticket. She could have had a few on hand to sell and help out.
The bed was too small and the flat was old and strange, with toys on the beds. Breakfast was nonexistent. Don't rely on eating anything more than a couple of biscuits, dry toast, and a single pod for coffee. There was no milk or water. Basically, you definitely get what you paid for, or even less.

The answer from the host:
I'm sorry your stay was "unpleasant" as you wrote. Next time I advise you to read carefully when booking a b&b or other structure. Perhaps these types of stay are not suited to your needs for overnight stays. Nothing is omitted in my description, and if you had read before booking you wouldn't have been surprised to find the shared bathroom. Thank you anyway for your review ... good summer
