Lila's house is a great place, literally 10metres from the beach. We had a great stay and would highly recommend it. When we visited the description and photos were not great so we were not sure exactly what we would find. The apartment is closer to a studio, on the ground floor of Lila's house, where she lives above. There is a bedroom in the back with two single beds, a small kitchen/dining area and a newly fitted bathroom. The living area is outside - a little sitting area that is partially shared with a second apartment next to it. The huge benefits to the apartment is Lila who lives there and Zacharias who took the booking are super friendly and helpful, everything was fine and Lila took us around the island a little bit and brought us fresh figs and tomatoes and things which were amazing, but we also felt like we had our own space and privacy too. The apartment is literally 10m from the beach, you can wake up, stumble out of bed and be in the sea in 20 seconds, or go for a late night swim, or sit on the beach and pop home in 10 seconds if you forgot something or to get more cold beer from the fridge :) In mid August the beach was busy during the day but never felt overcrowded. It is ridiculously easy to get to the apartment by public transport - from the ferry is 2 minutes to the bus, and the bus stop is literally right next to the house, 30 seconds walk with Lila there to greet you. Could not have been easier. Two bus routes run from the main city Ermoupoli to Finikas and both stop at this stop - there's about 2 an hour. Ferry from Athens also easy. The apartment is directly on the road, and the beach is directly on the other side of the road. It's the main road through the village, so there is some street noise, but it is mostly quiet and even in the end of August we didn't notice it very much. The apartment is also right next to the 'Hotel Olimpia' and at night there is noticeable bar/party noise from the hotel, one time during our stay it went on until the early hours of the morning. It was not enough noise to keep us awake or be very annoying, but the bedroom window faces directly to Hotel Olimpia and you can't close the window on a summer night :) There is a small kitchen that has everything you need for basic cooking - a little counter top oven, pots and pans and plates and things and oil, etc. Cleanliness is fine, we had crisp white sheets and towels. The kitchen stuff was not perfectly clean and the appliances worked fine but the over is old and a bit grungey. Bathroom was beautifully clean and brand new. As a base to go to the beach all...
