The house was sparkling clean and had great views.

You could hear literally everything from across rooms. Greatest issue came at check out: despite cleaning and tidying up the house daily, and the owners coming the last day and having no objection whatsoever, 24 hours later they charged us 100€ for cleaning the house, under untruthful claims that we had left it at disastrous condition. Even worse, days before checking in, they forced us to sign a contract where we declared we would leave the house “just like in the booking.com pictures”, before getting a chance at even looking at it, including a €400 deposit from which they discounted the cleaning without us having a say. We will never come back and discourage all booking users to do so.
