The balcony at George's place is absolutely wonderful. I think it is actually the best spot in Matala - comfortable couch, shaded, and with an amazing view. You can also walk downstairs and just jump straight into the water. George is SO nice and his place is kept in perfect shape. As a few other people mentioned, there is a bar right next to/under the apartment, so if you are noise sensitive this might not be ideal, but we loved the place and would definitely recommend!
