Firstly, this house was advertised on Vrbo’s map as being located within Nafplio city centre. Indeed, the title of the listing generated by Vrbo calls it ‘Nafplio City Centre’. We arrived at the house surprised to find it located directly on a busy street some 4km east of the city. Traffic can be heard from inside the house. Vrbo were completely unsympathetic to this problem and argued that “4km is not too bad”, offering no compensation or assistance. As we had entirely based the decision to take this apartment on the fact we would have been able to walk from it to the nearby climbing areas, as well as historic old town, this is unacceptable. No alternative accommodation was available and the host did not offer compensation even though it is their responsibility to ensure accuracy. Despite this massive disappointment and feeling of being ripped off, the house itself is spacious, modern and warm, with two bathrooms, washing machine, good beds and a well stocked kitchen. I hope that Vrbo and the host improve their accuracy to avoid future disappointments.
