My husband and I spent four nights in Katerina’s apartment, and we would characterize our experience as mixed. The apartment has many nice features. The location is excellent, as it’s just a 10-minute walk to the old harbor where there are lots of restaurants, bars, and shops. The apartment’s terrace is fantastic; it is large and well furnished, with spectacular views of the sea and the mountains. Upon our arrival we were delighted to find a generously filled bowl of fruit and a complimentary bottle of raki. The apartment’s heating and appliances (clothes washer, dishwasher, hair dryer) all worked well. When we arrived, we had no Internet access, apparently because of a fault with the line, but Constantinos followed up quickly and service was restored the following day.
One disadvantage of the apartment was that in the evenings the water pressure dropped drastically, with the result that we had only a trickle of cold water from the faucets and virtually no hot water. We showered in the mornings, so we managed okay, and to wash up in the evenings we heated water in the microwave. Constantinos said that no other guests had complained of this problem before, and was planning to follow up.
Another disadvantage is that the main bedroom is so small that it’s difficult to squeeze around the sides of the bed, and it has no usable bedside tables, so we slept in the second bedroom instead. Also, it’s evident that the apartment wasn’t furnished with airbnb guests in mind since it is very full of the owner’s decorative objects, which have to be moved aside if you want to use the surfaces. In addition, the building itself is run down and there was a large dumpster in front of the main door throughout our stay.
In summary, I would say that our stay was satisfactory, but for the amount that we paid I’d have expected better accommodations.
