We rented the entire flat and stayed in Katerina's place for two weeks in mid-October 2016. We enjoyed our time in Katerina's flat and highly recommend it to all travelers. Here's a bit about our experience.

The Flat:
Katerina's place was clean, full of bright sun light and quite comfy. It looked exactly as the photos portrayed. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. Even though the washing machine in the flat didn't work, there was a communal washing machine for us to use on the ground floor. The wifi speed was frequently slow and after 9pm most nights, even though the wifi was connected, the internet signal was totally lost. But during the day time the internet speed was fine.

The Neighborhood:
The flat is located in a touristy seaside area, so it was not hard to find small markets or gift shops. The beach was only a few minutes walk away from the flat. A popular Greek restaurant is right across the street and their food was delicious. There were a few restaurants and cafes scattered all along the main street, so we never felt hungry or bored. However, things around us were a bit pricy compared to some other local stores or restaurants. I guess that the price for being in the touristy area. On the other hand, the local community was not far from us, just up the hill where we found more local food, bakeries and places where the locals lived and congregated.

Transportation:
It is about a 20 minute bus ride to the city center and the bus stop is just outside the flat. But few taxis could be found near the flat. We had to walk about 5 minutes down the road to an area where several taxis wait for passengers. A taxi to the city center cost about 10 Euro (verbal price, no meter used).

Hospitality:
Although we never got a chance to meet her, it was always easy to communicate with Katerina through Airbnb. She replied to all of our messages very quickly. Eva, Katerina's mother-in-law, was very helpful to bring us things we needed and showed us things in the flat with clear explanations. She was friendly and her English was great! She is amazingly sweet and and super helpful

We had an amazing time at Katerina's place and we highly recommend it to all guests.
