Tasos and Christina’s place is perfectly located for a holiday in Almyrida, only a few minutes from the beach and all amenities. They are good hosts, who answered questions/messages promptly, and responded swiftly and efficiently to a couple of issues we had with an electricity outage, and a problem with pillows.
The weather wasn’t great during our stay and our hosts kindly got in touch to offer to bring over an extra blanket if we needed it, which we were glad to accept.
This listing refers to a ‘house’ and ‘home’, which is a little misleading, as it’s really a large studio apartment, with a separate bathroom.
The kitchenette is equipped with a two-ring ceramic hob, fridge, kettle, coffee-maker, microwave and toaster, but no oven, and very little free worktop area, so it could not easily be used for cooking/preparing a meal – which we would have liked to do once or twice during the two-week stay.
Wooden shutters are on all of the windows except the two high windows facing into the kitchenette, (also the main entrance door is glass), which means that half of the apartment is flooded with light when dawn breaks – something to bear in mind if you like to sleep late.
The studio was clean, and equipped with extra bedding and towels if needed, but there is a distinctly damp smell which seems to emanate from the never-quite-dry bathroom. There is a powerful (noisy) light-activated extractor fan in the bathroom, which doesn’t seem to help to dry things out – the floor always seemed cold and wet from the morning showers taken the day before.
The beds are generously sized, though we had to move things around in order to be able to use the wardrobes (the doors wouldn’t open fully the way things were).
The outside space has a good-sized table and chairs, but there is only a low wall separating this area from the street, meaning you are on full view to any passers-by, so no privacy.
