The apartment is located in a calm, quiet area, close to Kefalos beach. This is the more relaxed part of the island, with only small groceries around, but you can get anything you want. The apartment looks exctly like in the pictures (maybe even bigger), it was clean, and had everything we needed. If you close the windows you will not hear the chickens making noise at 4 a.m. The only issue we had was the inconvenient bed. It wasn't stable, and wasn't comfortable at all. I think they will change it in the future, and then, it will be a truly perfect apartment. All in all it is very much recommended!
