Paul and his wife and mother live in a townhouse (2 stories) a few short blocks from the sea where it is possible to go swimming (there are handrails and a ladder so you don't break your neck trying to enter the surf off the rocks).
The guest rooms are on the second floor (Europeans call it the first floor.).
Paul gave me a set of keys when I checked in and explained how everything worked.
His wifi had a strong signal and he even sells big bottles of water for only one euro!
Paul is also available (for a small price) to take people to the airport or ferry terminal; even in the middle of the night!
The biggest negative is the heat. The town house is old and the streets are narrow, so there is not much of a breeze and there is no air conditioning. My room had a wall-mounted fan without which it would have been intolerable.
I had a single bed and a maltese balcony. My room locked with a key that I could take with me and I had a key to the front door so I could come and go as I pleased.
It was a good value for the price.
