Rizos and Antonia are very accommodating. There was a lady minute, time change in my flights , putting me there a few hours early than expected. He graciously contacted transport for me. When I got to the house Antonia, was in a rush as she showed me quickly around the house. This is understandable, as my arrival was not anticipated until later.
They proved a bounty of fresh produce, crackers and plenty of water,, for a breakfast on the run. The space was much smaller than I originally believed. The bed, couch and shower were all amazing. Plenty of hot water, just as Antonia assured me, when she meet meat the house. Rizos provided a transport for me from the airport. Fortunately, the bus station is less than a 5 minute walk, I was able to get a bus straight to the airport, thereby saving €35, on the return trip. Buses are €1.60 to the airport. It was a good thing that I had the transport b/c later on when I tried to take a taxi to the house, I was told that I was not given an address. I had to guide the taxi driver, by giving him landmarks, like El Greco Restaurant.
The windows when opened, allow a lot of great ventilation and light. I didn’t even find out that there was air conditioning, until my stay was over. I closed the windows at night and was uncomfortably hot. There was no manual explaining the amenities and how to use appliances. This is unfortunate, because I’m sure I could have probably had a working TV in the bedroom and managed to access more than music videos in the living room, while relaxing at night. In the bath, there are trial size bottles of body wash and shampoo, that I did not see until after making an emergency purchase, it’s in a basket positioned far from any running water. The bathroom got very dark b/c I closed the window and I didn’t think to look in the basket.
I only stayed 2 nights, but I would have loved to stay longer. I would have had time to communicate with Rizos and Antonia for support on some of the things that I couldn’t access.
