This place is all it's praised for and then some!
- The host is very helpful and friendly. We had a welcoming dinner ready for us and some very nice gifts. Thanks, Maria!
- The location is great. The house itself is beautiful inside and outside. There are a lot of artistic touches.
- Everything is clean and is in working condition. Fully equipped modern kitchen, aircon units in every room, washing and dish washing machines and even a manual espresso machine (didn't know such a thing even existed)
- perfectly working WiFi.
- The free parking is available on the other side of the road just outside the house.
- an audio system and a large TV in the living room.
There are some things one should be aware though:
- The road nearby (several meters away actually) is a place of a heavy traffic 24/7. Sleeping well with windows open can be problematic. The problem is solved by closing windows tight and switching on the aircons.
- The beds are too hard for me and my family. It's a case at almost every place in Greece we ever visited, so maybe it's a local custom ("this is Sparta!", or something like that). the problem can be somehow managed with additional blankets used as mattresses.
- There is a safe box, but it's not mounted on any wall. So yeah, theoretically it can be stolen with your precious things locked inside (it's pretty light). But as we kept hearing while in the country - it's Greece, it's very safe. Worked for us :)
- The beach right in front of the house is beautiful, but it is open to the waves - the common problem on northern shores of the island. It was red flag almost every day throughout our stay. Solution: go 100 m to the west - the beach there is somehow more protected - or drive a couple of minutes to the east to Iguana beach, which is well protected.
Well, that's kinda it. Overall experience we had in that apartment was great and we will definitely consider staying there again. Thanks for reading.
