The owner’s kindness was incredible. She helped us at every step and was very approachable. The apartment was lovely. We’ll be back.
Beautiful apartment and well equipped. Excellent location. The owner was very nice, friendly and helpful.
The hosts were thoughtful, helpful, kind and welcoming. The location was fantastic (short walk to Lapad promenade and the Harbour, we also walked to the old town pretty easily just following the coast). Property was well equipped with everything we needed, including a coffee machine & pool towels. Views from the balcony were nice. Beds were comfy & the apartment was clean.
The apartment was perfect, really comfortable bed and lovely pool. Was a close walk to the beach and right next to the bus for the old town. Maria and her husband were so accommodating and helped with whatever we needed. Would definitely book again.
Very well located: 10 minutes by bus from the old town and 10 minutes on foot from Lapad beach. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. Maria was lovely and recommended restaurants and activities that we really enjoyed.
We booked very last minute, and at a very late time. We were welcomed kindly and the place was perfect. The host helped us a lot and we were allowed to use the swimming pool for the whole day even after we checked out.
