POSITIVES
1) Sotiris is very nice and happy to help (he will store you luggage when you check in too early and when you check out)
2) Sotiris will offer you one free drink when you check in and one free drink when you check out, he manages the bar just outside the flat
3) I asked for a kettle and Sotiris provided it
4) I asked for salt and Sotiris provided it
5) Very central location
NEGATIVES
1) There is no oven
2) There is no microwave
3) There is one single heating plate so if you want to cook meat / eggs and pasta at the same time on two different heating plates, forget it
4) That single heating plate does not boil water to cook pasta, it’s not hot enough even when pushed to the maximum, it took me 40 minutes to wait and see before figuring out water won’t boil at all
5) For 50 euros a night, the exact same week in August I slept at two different places (3 nights each) and had a far bigger apartment with everything in it (oven, microwave, 4 heating plates) in very desirable locations in the old town
5) The flat is alright but on the smaller side given prices in the old town for other apartments I’ve stayed at - It’s not great value for money
6) I told Sotiris about the lack of cooking possibilities in the flat and he did not really seem to care, arguing he’s been renting the flat for 3 years and nobody complained (I doubt it, if you don’t want to cook at all you may get a cheap hotel instead of that Air B N B with the same amenities and you room will be cleaned every day)
7) Very noisy well after midnight given there are plenty of bars and restaurants open late on that square
8) No salt, no tea bag, no coffee, no kettle, no pepper, no napkin to get you started on your first day, if you check in late and want to quickly cook, be prepared to find nothing at all in the flat
