Manolis is a fantastic host, was wonderfully welcoming and helpful. The appartment is big, very well maintained and super close to the beach - I'd also recommend turning right when you leave the house, cutting through to the main road and following it a little to find a butcher, baker, fishmonger and vegetable shop, all in a row. Amazing quality food.
The area is bustling with residential noise, mostly cats and dogs, but the apartment is well sound proofed. The outdoor space really makes it - although we had a little trouble with mosquitoes (in September) so buy some repellant.
