Giannis place was very homely, clean and comfortable. Also very open, spacious and bright with great views to both the sea and the mountains. Very good atmosphere! The huge balcony and the view of the sunset was wonderful. The cleanliness of the apartment was also impeccable. Comfortable bed and all the amenities that you need. Spices, coffee, water and usesful things like extra plastic bags and so on. Gianni has thought of everything practical to make your stay a good one. He also left local produce for us as gifts, like tasty homemade boreks, wine, olive oil, jam and fruits.
We also appreciated that the place was decorated in such a way that it felt very homely, but still tidy and without too many personal things, so that it is easy for you as a guest to feel at home and have enough space.
Giannis is a true superhost, and was helpful, friendly and available. One of our best airbnb experiences so far.
About the location: it was a 15 minutes walk from the old venetian harbour, a little bit further than what we expected. But the walk along the seaside was nice. The Koum Kapi beach right by the apartment had crystal clear clean water and soft sand. Many locals were swimming there and some tourists, but never crowded. It should be mentioned that there was some grafitti and some rubbish (on the sand, not in the water), and generelly a bit of an urban atmosphere there. So that you know not to expect a complete picturesque idyll. But we enjoyed bathing here a lot never the less!
The immediate quarters in the streets behind the seafront seemed to be partly dilapidated, with quite many abandoned buildings, no restaurants, shops or kiosks. But on the seafront we had good coffee, drinks and food, and enjoyed the local atmosphere.
