Good apartment in a very good location - very helpful and communicative host
Why to stay in this place:
+ Very nice and communicative host, always reachable to help and fix things
+ Super central location in a nice area
+ Great (shared) rooftop terrace
+ Fast internet (incl. on the rooftop)
+ Many very good cafes, restaurants, etc. within 5-50m radius (literally just at your door-step) - variety of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner
+ Despite the central location, apartment itself (on 4th floor) is rather quiet
Why not to stay in this place:
- Building and apartment of rather simple standard and a bit worn-down
- Also furniture and equipment in the apartment with some wear and tear
To give some additional weighting on the above comments:
The pictures provided by the host are fully correct about the apartment, they are just taken on a nice and sunny day. We would probably come again to this place, given the great location and the overall "ok" standard. (First time in Greece, maybe this is the standard here - I am comparing to previous experiences in Spain, Italy, Portugal, ...)
Yet, the overall condition was a negative surprise at arrival, as you do not see the little details in the pictures and none of the other reviews mentions any issues with a word.
Some things were a bit broken (e.g. loose water tap, some handles in the bathroom, a ceiling lamp), some parts a bit dirty (e.g. mould in corners of the shower). The host explained, that nobody ever complained about these things before and she sent in a craftsmen the same day to fix the things. (Big compliment for this prompt service!) - I would still recommend a proper inspection from time to time.
