This tiny studio flat is 5 minutes walk from the town centre. There’s air conditioning and outside seating, next to a beautiful lemon tree. Quiet street. Very clean and equipped with all the basic necessities (fridge, plates, hair dryer, extra pillow, a bottle of water). The host was polite, he picked us up on arrival and took us to the scooter rental place by car.
The “mixed” bits: the studio flat was quite dark, with little natural light. The only source of artificial light was a white neon light on the ceiling. There were no bedside table lights available. The bathroom door doesn’t offer much privacy in terms of sound insulation - as it’s a foldable plastic door.
It’s located beneath street level, and reachable through steep steps (not ideal for the elderly or those with mobility issues). The occasional noise from what sounded like building works could be heard outside during our stay. The studio itself is quite basic in terms of amenities. Neither TV nor Wi-Fi were available.
For the standards Airbnb has got customers used to, I would define this studio flat below average and a little overpriced. For a similar price, you could find more airy, brighter houses with proper views in other parts of the island. Being close to the centre is not necessary in my view, as even the most “remote” apartments are within a very short bike/scooter ride away.
But if you want the convenience of being close to the evening action, and aren’t too fussy about where you sleep, this apartment will do the job well and the host is very gracious.
