A **friend** whose business I occasionally use and who had done me a few favours in the past inquired about using our apartment.
He has a young family of 3 and hadnt had a holiday for a few years so to repay the favours I gave him 10 nights at a very good discount price.
The apartment is only one bedroom with twin beds so I managed to get our agent to borrow a fold up bed for one of the children.
He went to great pains to assure me the kids were well behaved and the apartment would be well cared for and they werent like other people who had no respect for other peoples property etc etc etc
They returned home yesterday so I went to collect the keys.
They had been lost
He blamed his youngest son, which is a bind because now I need to change the locks. Also he moaned about everything. the sun was too hot 
the sea too salty, 
the pool too cold, 
the hills too steep 
the taxis too expensive 3 euros from the beach. etc etc etc. and the other owners and guests on the complex were all idiots!!!On returning home had received an email from our agent. She had called to greet them 2 days after their arrival and the apartment was a mess. TEN bin liners of rubbish in the kitchen. She asked them to tidy up as rubbish attracts unwanted visitors
he assured her it would be sorted.She arranged their pick up for the return to the airport for 5pm and went to inspect after. They had already left and the apartment was a TIP. TEN MORE backs of rubbish, they must have eaten in every day. Broken crockery, fold up bed broken will have to pay for it. Wet magazines left on furniture now stained with printing ink and she hasnt finished the inspection yet
It just goes to prove you never really know people. Went back to see him and gave him a bill for damaged bed and crockery and extra cleaning and new locks.
Not a nice meeting few words exchanged
