Right from the 1st contact, Matthaios replied quickly & answered everything I asked. Matthaios arranged for a taxi to meet us at the airport & helped the driver find the apartment via mobile! it was as pictured & with Matthaios's mum & dad at hand, any queries we had were sorted fast! Loved the coffee machine & we used the washing machine & cooker/oven many times as we were in the apartment for 4 weeks! There are 2 places to sit out, at the front or on the balcony, so you can have sun or shade as you like, all day. I was very impressed with the second bed, as though it was a sofa bed, you wouldn't have known from sleeping on it! The area was fine to get anything we needed, with help & directions detailed in the apartment. It's easy to walk to get provisions though as I walk with crutches, we had hired a car, but the main local shopping street is nice & flat so ideal if you've walking difficulties. There are stairs upto the apartment, but it's lit, has a handrail & the steps aren't too deep! Philip, Matthaios's dad always helped us when he was there carrying shopping up the stairs for us, many thanks Philip. Whenever we contacted Matthaios he replied almost immediately which for 2 mature ladies was very reassuring. He came to meet us just after we arrived & again to say goodbye, & a long chat, (sorry Matthaios)! The only thing that was missing for us in the apartment was a couple of comfy chairs, (as I said, mature ladies), everything else was spot on.
As a first experience with airbnb, this was brilliant & I've recommended using it to all. Thank you Matthaios & family.
