The location of the apartment is excellent, and the apartment itself is in very good condition.
BUT
The balkong overlooking the courtyard is, in practical terms, unusable. The bakery’s extensive air-conditioning installations, which generate constant and considerable noise. The balcony is not suitable for relaxation or normal use. We were informed that toilet paper must not be flushed down the toilet – not even used toilet paper. We were also informed that we would be held financially responsible for any repairs should the toilet become blocked.
This is highly material information for anyone renting an apartment and should unquestionably have been disclosed before the booking was made. There was also no such information included in our rental agreement.
It is difficult to understand why such a fundamental restriction is not openly disclosed in the property description. This is particularly noteworthy given that the price can hardly be considered low for an apartment of approximately 20 square metres in Glyfada.
We also needed to find a solution for storing our luggage between check-out and our departing flight. We contacted the host. We were told no solution. They referred to a luggage-storage options 8-15 km away.
The information about the tourist tax stated that this was to be paid at the property. Now they told us that they would instead invoice us.
We refused. Then we payed by card, an unnecessarily inconvenient process.
