Spiros was a good host and responded relatively quickly to all our messages which was a good thing as the address supplied was incorrect and took us down the block from the building. This was not an ideal start as someone had to come and collect us to show us to the block.
Once inside, the apartment looks like the photos but is a little tired and needs a fresh coat of paint. We had a leaky boiler so there was a puddle of water in the bathroom which we were told was something that they knew about but still hadn’t fixed, (this was repaired during our stay). The shower holder was also broken and we managed to perform a temporary fix so the handle could stay up whilst we showered but this was not repaired. The sofa has lost all it’s stuffing and is really uncomfortable to sit in for any length of time so we found ourselves fighting for the two tub chairs which were nicer to sit in.
One of the most important things that was not mentioned in the reviews that I read, is that we are next to a church with a clock that chimes out the hour, every hour, and half hour 24/7, and does extra long chimes at 6am and 6pm which means your sleep is always disrupted if you are a light sleeper.
Saying all that, the flat is spacious, well stocked with everything you need for a good stay, has three really good sized bedrooms and is in a great location for sightseeing and also for picking up the metro or buses to other areas. Such a pity about the noise and the sofa!
