We will never come back.
The arrival was very complicated : Katerina never gave us the exact address of the apartment, nor the GPS coordinates. It took us 20 minutes to find the place. When we texted her saying “we can’t find your place, can you come to the parking lot instead ?” all she replied was “then straight away”. It doesn’t help at all because it depends on which side you’re coming from.
Once we arrived, Katerina confirmed us (as written in the description) that it is a quiet place. If you are a light sleeper or a normal sleeper, the apartment is the opposite of quiet : you will hear cars, trucks, and dogs barking until 2/3am, the walls are as thin as paper and the curtains don’t cover the lights of the street.
Furthermore, she was partying with her French friends next to our apartment up to 12:30am until the ELECTRICITY/POWER SUPPLY of the entire village shut down.
We went to see her and explained in English that the fridge wasn’t working anymore plus we couldn’t charge our phones (so no Google maps), and we told her that they were doing a lot of noise with her friends, all she replied was “don’t worry about the power, it happens a lot, it will come back in 10 minutes (whereas it took 1 hour for the electricity to come back which woke us up when it did), do you need candles or a lighter for a romantic night ?”.
Fortunately there were French people partying with her so it made it easier to let them know they were doing way too much noise.
Because of the 1 hour power cut in the middle of the night, the fridge wasn’t working, nor the freezer so water was all over the floor, and some of our luggage was wet.
To sum up, don’t go IF :
- you don’t speak Greek because if you have a problem, you can be sure she won’t understand if you explain it in English.
- you’re a light or a normal sleeper because you’ll never sleep during the whole night (especially if you’re doing a road trip and plan to stay for 1 night because this place is anything but quiet).
However the place was very clean and Katerina seems to be a nice person, it’s just such a shame her English isn’t that good.
