So close to being a 5 star airbnb, but it’s really a solid 3.5 to 4 stars in current state. Hopefully the owner and/or property management team will make some easy fixes.
We had no contact with George or Dekaflion who are mentioned in other reviews and who sound great from what other guests have said. Instead we heard from literally 6 different people with a property management company, and we got the sense none of them actually knew the apartment.
The pros- We really liked the location and the size of the apartment was great. I think for some people the massive balcony alone would make this place a 5 star- it is spacious with a good view of the port. But we spend most of our time sightseeing, so for us the balcony isn’t a big make or break for an airbnb. There is a washing machine and drying rack which was very useful at this stage in our holidays.
Cons-
It was not clear which of the 3 apartments on the 3rd floor was the airbnb, something that can be easily fixed in future. We figured it out on our own based on knowing directionally there was a sea-view, but it was an annoying start when all they need to do is explain when giving the instructions and/or have a small sign in English and Greek.
There should be a curtain over the door to the patio- the blinds in the bed area are great, but it still gets quite bright due to the door to the balcony not being covered.
The shower didn’t have a holder which is fine if you’re a bath person, but if you take showers it was annoying for shampooing and rinsing off. We’ve stayed at 6 airbnbs in Greece this month and this was the first to have a hand-held only shower head.
The mattress on the bed was not comfortable (not awful, but definitely the least comfortable mattress of the 6 airbnbs we’ve stayed at these past few weeks).
Not much personality in the apartment (other than a well-stocked bookshelf) in terms of decor or personal touches—- we don’t care much about that but along with not having communication with an actual host it did contribute to an overall impersonal feeling.
This place is so close to being 5 stars with a few fairly easy fixes. Very happy with the location.
