    Difficulty in contacting the host/owner of property

    The booking was made 2 months before the check in date. From day one the host did not respond to a single message both on the contact number given nor via the booking.com messaging platform. With much difficulty I got hold of him on the phone one day prior to checking in, and asked if he would allow us to drop luggage at the property 4 hrs before actual check in time for which he very courteously agreed. I was happy. I tried calling the host on the day of arrival since morning to confirm our time of arrival and there started our headache. For hours our calls and messages went answered. I called booking.com to reach them (which took ages in itself to just reach a representative) and they also failed to do so. We were asked to wait until after check in time to raise a complaint with booking.com.. We had planned our day keeping in mind that we could drop in our luggage and go out for sightseeing. We were stranded not knowing what to do, but when we arrived at the property at 12 pm (check in was at 4 pm), the property's door was open and not cleaned after the previous guests left. I messaged the host explaining the situation and asking if I could leave our luggage inside and come back for check in later at 4 pm and received an instant response from him saying NO and asked me to come back at the actual check in time. I was messaging and calling for several hours before this, but hadn't received a response. Then I started arguing saying that why had he agreed for luggage drop off the previous day because then I would've planned my day accordingly and told him that he had ruined our plans for that day because we were already there trusting his words. Then after some arguments he agreed to come and give us the keys in an hour (for the property next door as it was ready to check in) which he did. Though things were sorted in the end, for several hours we were stranded not knowing what to do or where to go with 2 kids, a 75 year old and huge luggage.

    The location of the property is excellent.

    Some of the mattresses were too soft and gave us back pain. The kitchen appliances were not clean/new. The room was cold due to lack of heating. There were threshold steps between the rooms (which was inconvenient). The walls were thin and we could hear neighbours talk. The host was not reachable except for check in and check out.

    There was a lot of space and the bathroom was comfortable

    Attention is terrible, took me 5 messages over 3 days to get the code to open the apartment. Didn't get the free transport tickets for tourists which are mandatory to hand out by all accommodations in the city. Beds are uncomfortable, there is not enough storage space for luggage nor kitchenware.

Feeling very misled and disappointing!
