Maria's place is a lovely spacious apartment within a few minutes walk to the beach and right at the heart of Naxos town close to restaurants and shops. (The ferry is at most a 12-15min walk) There were 5 of us and two slept downstairs in the main living area but there was still plenty of room. Each room is air conditioned (invaluable in Jul/August). The balcony is more for practical purposes like hanging out clothes etc as if you are after the sun you are better off on the beach but it is an attractive feature. There is a superb spar supermarket within 7 minutes walk (I mention this as it is the best one we have seen on our trip). We had a wonderful few days. Thank you Maria.
