The location of the apartment is perfect as the area is quiet and calm and away from the busy port. That being said you are always close to the attractions with less then 10 minutes to the port/ Kos town centre and the beach! The Apartment is also located around 8 minutes from the bus station which can help with getting around the island (tickets one way at €3.60)
The apartment is located on top of a bakery (which was a pleasant suprise) and two small shops are located opposite the apartment which will cover your needs.
The apartment itself is very clean and has everything you need for your stay, the rooftop terrace offers a great view of the area. The host was really amazing and helpful at checking in and offered insightful information about Kos Town and recommedations about where to visit and potentiall save money. I would definately recommend a stay here for first timers and those returning to Kos
