The property is one of many under the management of Aspasios, consequently we never met Francesca directly.

The communication was very good with regular updates being received with instructions of what to do in the lead up to our arrival.

Jesus, one of the Aspasios employees, met us on arrival and took us through the check in. He was very good and thorough.

However, We were disappointed with the property because when Jesus opened the door, there was an overpowering smell of dampness and mould throughout the apartment. We were told that there had been a water leak from the apartment above which had caused water damage to the ceiling and walls of the main bathroom and kitchen. There was obvious staining and mould on the ceiling and walls so it had happened some time ago.

Jesus explained that the property hadn't been used for some time and had been locked up so the smell was worse than it should've been but we were not told that the property had this problem nor were we offered any form of discount for having to put up with the smell, so this was a little disappointing.

The smell did dissipate over the following 24 hours but we had to leave the front and back doors open to let the fresh air through.

Overall the property was modern and clean but both the main bedroom and the ensuite bathroom are extremely small and trying to use the small bathroom was very uncomfortable. We literally did not have the space to dry ourselves after a shower if the door was closed as elbows hit the vanity / shower and door.

The location is further away from the Centre of the action than I thought so we had to walk 15-20 minutes before we got to the beach area or Gothic quarter etc. Consequently we spent more on taxis than we expected as my husband has bad knees and the extensive walking was too painful for him.

Next time, we would opt to stay much closer to the beach area or the Gothic Quarter.

Perhaps this wouldn't concern younger and fitter people who don't mind a lot of walking.
