Überforderte Gastgeberin
Pros:

Siehe unteren Text

Cons:

Das Zimmer war soweit ok, aber die Zimmer Bechreibung bei booking.com stimmte nicht mit der Realität überein. Nachdem die Vermieterin dies mit booking.com anscheinend geklärt hatte, wurden die fehlenden Elemente, wie Terrasse und Tisch, bereitgestellt. Da ich mehrere Fragen an die Vermieterin zur Klärung, der defekten Klimaanlage und Zudecke des Bettes hatte, war diese anscheinend überfordert, so dass wir den Aufenthalt auf ihren Wunsch hin abbrechen mussten. Sie war der Ansicht das unsere Fragen eher einem 5 Sterne Hotel entsprächen.
