Julie knew about a large re-constuction job happening in the flat directly above us. It went on everyday all day even the weekends!! When we asked Julie about she said that it was to be completed 2 weeks before our arrival and there was nothing she could do and would continue till mid September! We tried to find another place but everything in our budget and even beyond was booked, even with help of a Flatio rep. The flat itself was lacking TLC the bathroom has stains in the shower and broken vanity, the fridge didn't keep our items cold and the washing machine made all of our clothes super hard. We thought it was the hard water but, now we now live in our flat just a few streets away and our laundry comes out soft. But the worst thing was that NONE of the window locked and had no striping. So, we heard everything that was happening outside all the time.

We booked this apartment for a month expecting a quiet and peaceful place, as stated in the listing. However, we didn’t realize that the neighbor was practicing to become a DJ and played loud techno music. During the first week, this happened three times, starting as early as 10 AM. The noise was especially loud in the bedroom because the neighbor always kept the window open, and the entire wall vibrated due to the music.

When we informed the owner about this issue, he responded only after several days. Despite that, the neighbor continued playing music, sometimes until 10 PM ( the owner was aware of the neighbor’s DJ practice because he told us himself). We also discovered that the wall separating us from the next neighbors was very thin, like paper (it looked like it was one apartment that they divided into two using a thin wall). We could clearly hear noises from washing machines, shower, and running taps, which made sleeping very difficult.

Throughout our stay, we did not get a good night’s sleep even once. The owner always responded very late, and eventually, we had to leave and find another place, which was very challenging in the middle of summer. Communication with the owner was minimal and complicated.

We definitely cannot recommend this place. It is falsely advertised as quiet, but it is impossible to get any rest there. We travel all the time and rent apartments, but this was our worst experience.

Awful experience, the day I moved in I was told the hot water wasn’t working correctly, 5 weeks later when I moved out it still wasn’t working. On multiple occasions the landlord ignored me reaching out with issues and when she did finally respond it was always to blame me for the problems 😂 I really enjoyed Budapest but the attitude of this landlord makes me want to tell everyone I know never to come here. Very disrespectful and rude, she talked to me like I was a child infront of other people. Just an overall terrible experience. I do not recommend.

The house was problematic because of a working site on the road and especially on the building facade. The house delivered was not matching the one of the original agreement. The owner was very collaborative fixing my contract, however the refund has not been placed

Die Wohnung ist in einem nicht optimalen Zustand, ein Fenster schließt nicht seit der Übergabe im Februar und das Problem wurde bis zur Abreise nicht behoben. Weiterhin ist das Zimmer zur Straße aufgrund der nächtlichen Aktivitäten und des Clubs unten drunter sehr lärmintensiv. Ansonsten ist die Lage gut

My wife, our small children, and I arrived at the apartment and discovered the next day a loud noise coming through the wall because renovation work had started. The host did not warn us about this. I immediately messaged him, but the noise continued every day for two weeks. The children were constantly crying and we couldn’t stay in the apartment comfortably, so we had to spend time outside. I asked them to find a solution, but they told me, “Sorry, we have no free apartments,” even though this is an agency and I could see other listings on their site. The air conditioner didn’t work at all—it leaked onto the sofa—so we were stuck in a stifling room. Giant cockroaches ran around the apartment and we had to kill them constantly. The window screens were in poor condition, so mosquitoes bit us at night. We had to turn to Flatio for help—many thanks to them! Flatio found us another apartment at a lower price where everything is great. This apartment is awful and not worth the money.

Mi experiencia en este alojamiento ha sido muy insatisfactoria por diversos motivos que considero importantes señalar:

En primer lugar, el piso presentaba una evidente falta de limpieza general. Había una acumulación considerable de polvo en todas las estancias, especialmente en la alfombra y la cortina, lo cual me provocó una fuerte reacción alérgica durante varios días, lo que afectó gravemente mi estancia.

En segundo lugar, el anuncio indicaba la existencia de un sofá cama, pero al llegar comprobé que únicamente había una cama montable, lo que constituye una información engañosa.

Asimismo, el baño se encontraba en malas condiciones de higiene, con telarañas y arañas visibles en el techo. Este detalle resulta inadmisible y denota una clara dejadez en el mantenimiento del alojamiento.

En cuanto a los electrodomésticos, todos presentaban un estado de suciedad considerable. La nevera no funcionaba correctamente y goteaba constantemente, mientras que el lavavajillas tampoco funcionaba de manera adecuada.

Por último, durante los fines de semana, el nivel de ruido procedente de un bar cercano fue excesivo, con música alta y aglomeraciones de personas en la calle hasta altas horas de la madrugada, lo que imposibilitaba el descanso.

En definitiva, no recomendaría este alojamiento y considero que la información proporcionada en el anuncio no se corresponde con la realidad.

Za tu cenu adekvátní, ale příště jen jako nouzové řešení. Turnikety jako na internátě a velmi nepříjemní recepční nebo security nebo jaká to.byla pozice hned vedle turniketů. Ale jak říkám za tu cenu adi cajk nicméně já si tedy raději priplatim, když bude možnost neprupadat si jako, že jsem ubytován za trest.

This was one of the worst rental experiences I’ve had. The host, Furkan, maintains an uncomfortable and unwelcoming environment, made worse by the excessive number of passive-aggressive signs plastered all over the apartment dictating everything from how and when you can eat, clean, or even use the fridge.

There were unreasonable rules like not being allowed to wash dishes or use the washing machine after 9 PM because it was “his bedtime” — even though you could clearly hear him watching TV and moving around upstairs until 1 AM. He also claimed guests shouldn’t order food after 10 PM to avoid disturbing neighbors, yet neighbors were active and receiving deliveries well past midnight.

Basic amenities were falsely advertised. The listing mentioned a fan and access to a terrace, neither of which were actually available. I had to buy my own fan and was later told the terrace was off-limits, despite it being written in the house rules that it was allowed. He seems to selectively enforce and change the rules depending on who the guest is.

The kitchen was under-equipped — there were only a couple of usable utensils and at one point we had to share a single fork between two people because the others mysteriously “disappeared.” He also made petty complaints when we used a tiny bit of shared oil, despite us regularly sharing our food with him and each other.

Worse than the pettiness, the host behaved inappropriately. I was meeting with a real estate agent to view apartments (a short-term stay was the only reason I booked this place), and before we left, the agent asked to use the bathroom. After that, the situation took a very uncomfortable turn. I went upstairs visibly distressed and on the verge of a panic attack, hoping Furkan would help or ask the man to leave, but instead, he showed zero empathy and immediately locked all his doors, as if I were the problem.

He also regularly ignored messages and then lied about not having his phone, even though he had an AirPod in and his phone could be heard buzzing nearby under the couch.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Furkan leaves a negative review in retaliation for this, but future renters deserve to know the truth. This listing should not be allowed to remain on Flatio. It’s misleading, restrictive, and feels more like a monitored trap than a welcoming rental. Avoid at all costs.

Flat was dirty and required full cleaning upon arrival.
Easy to get the key and in a very calm / easy to access neighborhood

The reviews I have read on the flatio about this apartment were very flattering, which was the reason why I made the booking. However, the apartment appeared to be below my expectations.
Apparently, there was an installation of a water heater the day before, and the floors were covered in some kind of construction dust. The host seemed to have tried to clean the mess, but it made the sink in the kitchen just dirtier. When I reported this case to Flatio, the host contacted me and sent his house keeper for an additional cleaning. I wish it had been done before I arrive.
The dishwasher did not seem to work due to lack of salt or any other reasons, and the only solution I got was being sent the user guide.
The bathroom smelled terrible of mold and canalization, even though I could not spot it, but I needed to keep the windows open all the time to make the smell bearable.
When booking this apartment, please bear in mind that it is situated just in five minutes ride from the airport. It can be convenient, but the sound pollution is devastating. The airplanes are getting to land literally just above your head, and fly constantly from 5 am to 1 am. Totally do not recommend it if you are not a huge fan of airplanes or a photographer.
As for positive aspects, the host was flexible on the arrival time and the neighborhood was safe.

house has cockroaches. one day I woke up with 3 in my bedroom. host said they can't do much about it. I am a young girl and was looking for digital nomad vibes, to work with other young like minded people but the only people coming and going the whole time were old, unclean men. for a month long, my whole stay. which made me feel uncomfortable and I didn't enjoy living in a dirty old men dominated place as a 26 year old. probably not what you're looking for if you want to rent long term as a young female digital nomad. there were some small wifi and water issues for a short time but the host was very responsive to these issues and they were rapidly solved.

If you enjoy being treated like an unwanted guest in a stranger’s over-decorated storage unit, this is the rental for you. From the moment I moved in, I was met with broken fixtures, dirty appliances, and personal belongings stuffed into nearly every drawer and cabinet, leaving me nowhere to unpack. When I brought up basic expectations—like functional lighting or a working doorbell—I was met with dismissiveness, condescension, and outright hostility.

Alexandra made it painfully clear she saw the apartment as hers and me as some temporary inconvenience paying 30,000 crowns per month for the privilege of being ignored. When I requested actual solutions, I was told things like, “You don’t need that much space,” and “If you don’t like it, just leave.” So I did - I left.

Do yourself a favor: avoid this place, avoid this owner, and avoid the stress. You’re renting an apartment, not entering a psychological endurance test.

2 stars. Firstly I enjoyed my 2 month stay in Albufeira away from the UK winter, just what I needed after 3 years of cancer treatment. However I’m afraid on arrival at the property I was disappointed in the condition also there is a lot of traffic noise but one gets used to that in time. There is a very useful and well stocked supermarket very close and in walking distance also there is a very pleasant park walk that leads down to the shops and restaurants and also the beach all being only a mile away.
On entering the property via the gate and proceeding up the drive there are many broken floor tiles that are a health and safety issue not only for the elderly. The outside walls are very dirty and could do with repairing and painting as the property is letting down the area as neighbouring properties are well looked after. There was an outside lamp hanging down over the patio doors with bare wires exposed, maintenance did respond immediately when I pointed the danger to them. Upstairs has 2 bedrooms but neither doors close also the bathroom door doesn’t close. The upstairs landing light does not work. In the kitchen there are saucepans with handles that are almost falling off so could be very dangerous carrying hot liquids. Laminate on cupboards and draws is peeling off. The property is very rundown with paint peeling off the internal walls in many places and cracked tiles. The kitchen sink plug is the wrong size. No plugs for bathroom or downstairs cloakroom sinks. Fridge light not working. All that can be said of the BBQ is disgusting. I was told a gardener would come once a week but he came only once in 2 months so garden not looking good.
The potential for this property is very good, it just needs looking after.

When I arrived in Porto, the host took forever to meet me and then brought me to an apartment that was completely different from the one I had signed the lease on. Bigger, yes, but much less liveable (undecorated, no view or natural light, constant noise from the lobby one floor below). It was the same building, but his flat was not clean, the bed was broken and there was no surface for me to work at. Before I pointed this out to him, there was no apology or explanation on his part. Then, to his credit, he brought me a mini-desk and chair, and the bed was fixed (although the latter took 4 weeks). Throughout this process though, I felt increasingly uncomfortable as he repeatedly asked me out for drinks and inquired after my lovelife. At one point, he decided to show me the apartment upstairs (the one I was paying for); my heart broke when I entered the bright, cozy room I'd fallen in love with online. Assuming he was providing me with an option - why else would he show me? - I asked if there was any way I could switch, maybe just for part of the 6 weeks I was staying in Porto, but he told me this was not possible. Resigning myself to the situation, I started pimping the space I was assigned (buying candles and plants), and asked if he'd consider giving me a discount instead. Suddenly, he became very cold with me and said I was welcome to find accomodation elsewhere. I couldn't - not on such short notice and with my budget - which he know, of course. So I made my peace with my big, cold apartment, the shower that only provided about 8 minutes of warm water, the broken freezer and power outages. When the coffee machine stopped working halfway through my stay, I was not surprised that the host made no effort to have it fixed or replaced. I will say this for the flat: you can't beat that location. I ended up having a wonderful time in Porto, but no thanks to this host. I truly believe he means well, but this is no way to treat people who pay good money for their stay and depend on you to make them feel comfortable and safe.

Property was in ok condition. The building and surrounding area was not. Trash and debris all around, looking from deck, derelict cars and trash. Front "security" door was always open. The walls, hallways and elevator were in poor, very used condition. Loud and angry neighbors. Etc.

This has been the worst experience I’ve ever had.

Two days before my move-in date, I was informed that there was an issue with the house I booked. They told me they would arrange an alternative room for me. The house I originally booked was supposed to have sunlight and a balcony, but the replacement room had neither of those features, which was clearly a downgrade. They never mentioned anything about compensation; I was simply "informed" about this arrangement.

They only mentioned compensation after I chased them down, and even then, I had to send multiple emails to get any details.

When I finally moved in, I was told that some workers needed to fix something, but I was never given a clear explanation of what the issue was or what was being fixed.

To this day, I'm still unclear on how they are handling it.

This whole experience has been completely disappointing and stressful. Renting a house from them actually has totally destroyed my mood for my work trip.

The condition of the property was bad. The condo is outdated, and it needed urgent repairs. It was very cold some days inside, and two electrical portable oil heaters were not enough to have normal temperature inside. It was a very bad smell from the kitchen sink. The managing company HostWise and owners of the property ignored most of our requests. For example, they didn't want to give us a key from a mailbox for a very long time. They gave it to us only after our threat to cancel our rental. They sent us monthly invoices for 2024 only after many of our requests for invoices, but ignored our multiple requests for getting invoices for January and February 2025 completely!

Staying at this apartment was not a good experience for us. First the apartment is way to cold in winter for not having heating devices to warm the spaces. It is a very recent renovation of an old building where the original walls were fully cover with plasterboard, I think that there's a space between the original walls and the new ones where humidity get trapped and that make it a very cold space. To deal with that cold, we have to asked the host, Amelia, to give us a portable heater. Also mold forms in the bathroom roof and even in your backpacks. The floor is so cold that if you walk only with winter socks you feel your feet not only cold but wet. To add, the apartment and everything inside is almost new, but some of the appliances were like toys or decoration, like not intended to be used, if you used them they last for very few times. As the toaster and hand blender that were very cheap and of low quality ("perfectly enough" average of 12.99€).
I will highly recommend the host, Amelia, to spend at least a week on that apartment during the winter season and while raining to really live and experiences what she, at this very moment, can only just see.
In addition to the apartment itself, it was not a good experience for me to comunicate with Amelia Estevao. During our stay there were 4 services usually provided by a host to it's guest and that could had being done very easily, but for one reason or another, Amelia make each of those processes difficult and time consuming for me. I wonder why she did them that way. The services were:
1) Extend the rent period.
2) Payment of services in excess
3) Inspection of the apartment and writing of the protocol from takeover of residential premises.
4) Keys pick-up
The first one, I want to write about is the Inspection of the apartment, the first time I asked Amelia to tell me when she was going to come to make the inspection of the apartment was 17 days before my check-out date and I asked her again 6 days before my check-out date. It took her 12 days to answered that to me. She wrote to me that she was not coming to make the inspection but that her husband is coming the day of the check-out. If she was not coming to make the inspection it means there's no way that there will be agreements between she and me about the way to solve defects and therefore the conditions needed to write down The Protocol from Takeover of Residential Premises were not met. I think they'd don't realized that, because her husband asked me, on the check-out day, to sign a document previously written by them. That is not what "The Protocol from Takeover of Residential Premises" is it all about, it cannot be written unilaterally by the host on his own an previous to the inspection.
Knowing she was not coming to the inspection and knowing I will have to correct the defects before I left. I decided to bought a new toaster and a new, exactly the same, hand blender. The ones on the apartment just stop working from one day to the next. I also bought a new, exactly the same, chopping board. I accidentally put a too hot pan in top of it and even it still works it's purpose perfectly it ends up with a black (burn) circle, so it doesn't look "as new", anymore. I consider I did the best I could to solve the defects, when the host, Amelia, didn't even take the time to come and check her own apartment.
Regarding the keys pick-up, she asked me if her husband could pick-up the keys at 9:00 am when the check-out time was at 11:00 am. We really tried to have everything ready at 9:00 am but we run a little bit late. Her husband was hurrying us when we have the right to be there until 11:00 am. We asked him to go inside the apartment some minutes after 9 am. I gave to him the new toaster, the new hand blender and the new chopping board. I also turn on many of the appliances and invite him to see that they were functioning properly (TV, router, refrigerator, stove, water heater, etc), but he seem not too interested and said to be in a hurry. He was there for about 20 minutes and take a very good look of the apartment. Since they have already booked the apartment by new guests to check-inn the next day, it was the opportunity for him to check the apartment and show me any defect he could found. He left the apartment without mentioning that he found any defect on the apartment. For last, he told us to left the apartment before 11:00 am. so he didn't pick up the keys. We left the apartment minutes after he left, the time that took to take videos/pictures and after finding out the code for the key-box.
Regarding the payment of services in excess Amelia notify me that I have to pay for them 12 days after she received the electricity invoice. I would like for her to notify it earlier so we can do something about it sooner. She add that our use of electricity was to high, I consider she told me so because she didn't took on account the following facts:
• The price for electricity was 17.611% higher in December than in January, that's written on the invoice. I think she has to know that fact, since she lives there, but she forgot to mentioned it to me.
• We were using a portable heater that she bought that don't have a label of energy efficiency and probably was not very efficient using electricity.
• The water heater was at the maximum temperature and the refrigerator was at the minimum temperature when we get there.
• Last but not least, it was December, a month of celebrations, we celebrate Christmas and the New Year, so we cooked (used the oven more than usual), hear music, go to sleep later, etc. It is not that we, the person's that rent Amelia's apartment's used to much electricity, is that all over the world people use more electricity in December.
I really tried to agreed with Amelia, on the amount to pay for services in excess. So I wrote several message to her for 17 days to get to a number and it was far to difficult:
• Begining with the rents I payed, the only thing she has to do is to copy them from the Amendment and sum them. But she didn't, she kept on writing to me wrong rents payments, always lower than what I really payed.
• Then, I asked Amelia questions about the services as: Do this apartment shared the same internet with the other apartment upstairs? (she owns that apartment too) That simple question offended her.
• Then, getting the invoices, she only send 2 invoices that were real invoices and that the whole period of time they were charging were when I was actually renting de apartment; 1 electricity invoice and 1 water invoices, their sum didn't exceed the maximum stablish by Flatio. I wrote several messages to Amelia to asked her to send the internet invoices but she never send a real internet invoice, just sent a screenshot of an e-mail from her internet provider.
• And for last with some invoices it is necessary to agreed on how much of the charge was really used by us as tenants; For example, that screenshot of an e-mail from her internet provider was asking for the payment of 52.81€ for 30 days. We were not renting the apartment jet, for 25 of those 30 days. The same happened with a water invoice that she sent to me, we were not renting the apartment for 13 days of the 30 days that invoice was charging.
One night at 01:24 am, she wrote to me this: "As despesas ficam por minha conta." Then, the same day few hours later 22:53, she wrote something that made no sense to me, so I asked her some questions to try to understand it, she just didn't answer them. She never send an invoice or mention anything about the payment for the services in excess anymore. What I can say is that, according to the meters, at the end of our stay we manage to lower 34% our electricity consumption and manage to lower 23% water consumption in relation to the December invoices.
The last service I will mention is when I asked her to extend my stay, it took her about 4 days for her to register a valid agreed amendment at Flatio's Website. First she create one with a Rent that was almost twice the price of the Rent I had already payed. Then she create another that extend my stay for 2 years more than I was asking and with the same doubled wrong price.
Repeatedly, Amelia was not involved in the service she has to give to us and she was not willing to accomplish each of them, also her communication with me was erratic and it became a bad experience for me.

Low value for money. Very high price for very low quality of apartment.

I’ve traveled the world extensively (not staying in hotels) so I didn’t have any expectations like that) my issues relate to privacy. There are windows into the shared bathroom from an adjacent room that looks directly to the shower. All other windows similar (into bedrooms) are painted but not the bathroom???

The room was not spacious as described. No bigger than a normal single bedroom.

Plus a host of other privacy concerns. I believe the host to have entered my ‘locked’ room when I wasn’t there.

Ubytování katastrofa, byt extrémě smrděl, bylo tam asi 150kytek, paní si nějaké odvezla, ale stejně tam nechala květiny ve skleničkách s vodou která smrděla a ten smrad nešel vyvětrat a špatně se tam dýchalo, peřiny a polštáře byly celé flekaté, jako kdyby nechci říkat od čeho, na vyžádání zašlu fotografie, vše mám nafocené. Za byt jsem zaplatila 15tis na 2 týdny, ale spala tam 1 noc díky těmto okolnostem. Radím vám všem, neplaťte si toto ubytování, za tu cenu to nestojí, musela jsem také na vlastní náklady nechat zatuchlou sedící soupravu. Navíc tam ani není TV, pouze strašně moc obrazů a květin, to ani na propagačních fotkách není vidět, ale když zaplatíte a přijdete na byt, tak se nestačíte divit. Katastrofa

Moc špatně

The owner was sweet but The room was too dusty, the shower is basically you showering on top of the toilet and risking the whole house to flood, didn’t have any space in the fridge, so i basically just stayed kinda my whole stay outside, couldn’t even sleep there cause of how dusty it is, it said i have my own entrance, which is also not true, and basically no privacy and no key to the room i was in so I didn’t feel safe.
