Maria's apartment was a very good option for us. We were 6 adults and 2 children and we've spent 6 nights at Maria's place. In the house, you have everything that you need plus Maria lives in the same building so if you need any help she's there for you. The highlight of the apparent is the living room and the big terrace with sea view. It's truly relaxing to spend the evenings watching the sea.
Initially we though about walking to the beach instead of renting a car but we soon found out that there are much better options near by but not anymore in walking distance. So we tried the local taxis, not really reliable, nor cheap and overall pretty complicated. In the end we did rent a car and everything went much smoother.
Don't forget to ask Maria for the restaurants recommendation, they were really something special.
