Despite it being January and freezing the apartment heating wasn't turned on when we arrived on Friday night, the hosts didn't explain how to turn it on so we spent the first night and next morning in the one bedroom with just the air conditioner to keep it warm, the rest of the apartment was so cold we had to go out first thing. We asked the host to come and turn the heating on as there weren't any obvious controls. When we returned in the evening he had visited but for some reason still not turned it on.
We asked again if he would come and turn the heating on, he eventually came back and spent some time turning it on without showing us how. By the time we went to bed it had got slightly less cold, but we woke the next day to find the heating had gone off and the apartment was freezing once again. We left that morning to try and find another place that was warm!
The area is also not that nice, with rubbish everywhere.
We found the south of the island around Agrignto to be much nicer.
