The house is very spacious and well-located. We could travel easily through the island from there. It has got the sea view and private area around. Big yard and the garden were very nice to look at and to play for the kids.
We were very warmly welcomed by Elias’ parents. It was very appreciated by us – the refrigerator was full of water and other supplies and we also received fresh fruit and Greek dumplings.
There were available toys for the kids and marine equipment to use for us, like mattress and sun umbrellas.
The communication with Elias was quick and effective. He reacted to our messages without any delay.
On the downside, the access to the house was difficult. We had a small car but even so, it took much effort to take two narrow turns on the driveway.
The whole place was very badly lightened, it was impossible to read a book in the evening or play a board game. There was no light in the kitchen, which made the cooking unpleasant and depressing.
There was a constant noise from the main road which leads right between the house and the sea. It was difficult to hear the sound of the sea, it was intense especially in the night. It was hard to fall asleep and relax because of this.
In the house there were many worms, millepedes-like, and clothes moths.
The kitchen utensils were all dirty and sticky. Most of the things in the kitchen cabinets were old and used, some of them broken. We were missing practical kitchen equipment for cooking.
The dishwasher was supposed to be in the house equipment, but it was non-functional. When reported to the owner, we were promised that somebody will come and repair it, but it never happened.
