Elena George’s apt is exactly as it is pictured, roomy and clean. Our family of 5 had plenty of space to spread out and get some nice alone time after spending all day out together. The apt was very clean and beds were comfortable to sleep in. Extra bedding were available if needed too. Elena was very easy to get a hold of and responded very quickly too. She was very kind to help us are she transportation to and from the port/airport to the apartment. A great hostess!
As for location, there are restaurants (a delicious souvlaki/gyro one too) and markets within a few mins of walking. The building is on a dead end street so quiet, it was nice to see the neighbors gather for a meal in the middle of the dead end street, shows what a right neighborhood this is.
The train station is a little further and per google we had to walk through and underpass to get to the station (quickest way). The underpass was empty all the time so it didn’t feel the safest for us, so at night when we came back we end up taking Uber back. The Uber ride from the main tourist areas were only 6-7 euros, so definitely not a deal breaker. We just always prefer public transportation if it was an option.
