1. Unbearable noise, never disclosed in the listing
The apartment faces directly onto the main street, and the noise was relentless, day and night. Cars and scooters honked and roared past at all hours, making genuine sleep impossible. Night after night we lay awake, and the resulting exhaustion robbed us of the energy to enjoy the activities we had so eagerly planned. What troubles me most is that nowhere in your listing was this disclosed. A problem this obvious and this disruptive cannot have escaped your notice, and I find it hard to believe we are the first guests to raise it. Guests deserve to know what they are paying for.
2. A shower that repeatedly failed
On two of our four nights, the shower would not drain. I was forced to contact the owner two nights running. The first night he patched the problem himself, only for it to clog again the next morning, ultimately requiring a professional plumber. Again and again we had to summon the owner, then wait helplessly for him to arrive before we could sleep or leave the apartment. A holiday is not supposed to revolve around a broken drain, yet ours did.
3.No hot water to shower the night before we left
Although I contacted the owner immediately, he cannot do anything. We ended up with no one who could shower at night after an entire exhausting day.
