A very affordable place to stay in Naxos, a 10 minute walk from the centre of Naxos town and very clean. It was spacious and comfortable for two people. The location on the map definitely isn't accurate, it is further away from the coast but still within walking distance.
The biggest downside to this Airbnb listing is not the quality of the apartment itself, but the fact that the host's parents live a few floors up and were constantly intrusive during our stay. We had three instances of the parents either letting themselves into the apartment whilst we were out or turning up early in the morning and waking us up:
- The parent's came into the apartment one day when we were out to turn off the air-conditioning. This was left on by accident and I can completely understand the need to turn it off, however, we were never once contacted by the host before their parents let themselves into the Airbnb.
- A few days later, we were woken up by the host's parents as they wanted to do a viewing of the apartment. This has never happened to me before in any of the other Airbnbs I have stayed in and I don't understand why this couldn't have happened a few days later when there weren't paying guests. They conducted this viewing during the day whilst we were out, with all of our private and valuable belongings left on display inside the Airbnb.
-A few days after that, we were woken up again by the parents who wanted to make changes to the kitchen window. Even though we didn't agree to them doing this, the host's father and another man continued to measure, discuss and build something to the kitchen window whilst my partner and I were eating breakfast getting ready to leave for the day.
It's such a shame that the host's parents behaved this way as this could be one of the best value for money apartment's in Naxos. However, after the experience we had we would recommend anyone to pay a little bit more and have a truly relaxing and private experience somewhere else.
