Firstly,before we even arrived we had trouble. Spent the day before on the phone trying to contact the host for checking in procedure. Finally after 6-7 hours, and with the help of VRBO, we connected. When we should have being enjoying our last day in Cordoba, we spent it trying to speak to Mercedes.
We felt she should have reduced the price because of our hardship and after a hour of haggling, she came down 50e. Big deal.
Next day we arrived. She sent her young daughter to meet us, a cowardly thing to do. She was very nice and told us lots of things about Valencia.
But she should have been explaining how things worked.Like hot water. It took 3 days to get info from Mercedes that a plug in the second bedroom controlled the heating. And accused us of unplugging it. We were never in the room until she explained about the plug. She said it was updated recently but the plug looked like something from the 1960's. As were all the electrical sockets. Very dodgy.The terrace was beautiful but not panoramic as advertised. Also there were no lights for when it got dark. That was our main reason to pay such an exorbitant price. The terrace. Mercedes said there was a switch , she was right, it didn't work. So we had to move the table nearer the main room fir light. Walking around in the dark was too dangerous.
My wife was very upset about this. 2 days before we were due to leave, Mercedes said she'd send an engineer over, we told her not to bother and said she should refund us.She
