Manolis' place is amazing! It is really spacious, very clean, it is equipped with everything you need for your stay. We communicated very well, he was very prompt. At our arrival he waited for us with fresh fruit, bred, butter and local wine. The bed linen and the towels were changed regularly. The nearest beach is just down the street, Christi Akti beach is just a couple of minutes away. The city centre is about a 30 minutes pleasant walk away. The nearest mini market is about 5 minutes away down the street. I recommend renting a car as the public transport network is quite complicated, you will not find information near the bus stops, not even regarding the bus numbers, only on the internet. A car is recommended also for visiting the amazing places on the island so you will not regret it a second :)
The only thing i thought it was a shame, was the enormous number of stray cats on the streets throughout the island, none of them neutered, many in popor shape. As a group of animal lovers, it was hard to walk by them :(
All in all, it was a great experience and chosing Manolis' place was the best decision we made.
