We were greeted by the host who met us nicely. He made us feel comfortable and homely. However, when he was about to leave he said something which kind of put us off. He asked us to give him Euros 150 deposit as part of security and that he or his house keeper will pay us on the day we'll leave. Now before anyone else says that it's Expedia's policy, I would like to add that a day before I messaged the person who had been dealing with my bookings for this apartment since day 1 asking, "Hello, do we have to pay anything extra when we arrive at the accommodation?" And that person clearly said "No, you don't have to pay anything extra" Obviously we were at ease. But when he asked us to pay this money, we told him everything regarding the conversation we had and even showed him the messages. He refused saying something like the person who was messaging us is my worker and I don't wish to work with him any further. We requested him saying we have kept a limited amount of cash with us and if you ask for such a huge amount, our budget will get disturbed, he was adamant that he wants it so we succumbed. Secondly, I don't recall any of us sleeping peacefully at night because of the hot weather.
When we asked for fans he said, "I'm sorry this is the first time it's so hot and I can't do much about it." The thing is, if someone is paying you, you are supposed to accommodate them even if that means buying an extra fan. Secondly, you are supposed to handle your affairs with your workers
