Location-size-charm
Christina's place was really well located 10mins from city beach (which is not bad for a city beach), 5 mins from old Venetian harbour and 7 mins from a big supermarket. As a family with kid and granny we really enjoyed the space (3 bedrooms and 2 balconies). We did not need the living room! Both balconies offered sea views (one more, than the other). All the apartament was very nicely and uniquely decorated, with antique furniture, a lot of statues, paintings, etc. It really made us feel like visiting friends rather than renting apartament at the seaside. Christina is a great host, very responsive, helpful, friendly and approachable.
As we stayed there for 2 weeks, we tasted the full bouquet of local experiences like people being so loud in their balconies (there is Hotel Irene in front with a lot of people dining and drinking in their balconies). As only 1 room had AC we slept with open windows so street noises of passing by motorbikes and garbage trucks at midnight, church bells at 7AM, cats miauching and dogs barking. It was a bit disturbing, but gave us a feeling how Greeks really live.
