Despite being far from the central area, during peak tourist season it seems like it would have been terrible to stay anywhere but where we stayed. The center was easy to get to directly via bike in 10 min ( Manthos reserved them for us and had them available at the flat (for 7.5 euro per bike per day-HIGHLY RECOMMEND). After long busy touristing days, we were so happy to return back to a peaceful quiet area of town and had a couple evening picnics in the park nearby. The room had everything we needed and we felt very comfortable the entire time. Highly likely to return again!
