The neighborhood is residential and quiet. There is a coffee shop/bar and a supermarket down the street which is all very convenient. The black sand beach in Perissa is less then 3 km from the unit and is easy to get to walking or by car. Bring beach towels if you intend to sun bathe on the deck or head to the beach as there are no extra towels in the unit. The wifi speed is around ~13 Mbps download and ~1 Mbps upload.
