Marina Guesthouse

The location is excellent. About a seven minute walk from the ferry drop off point. About 10 minutes into the center of old town. Close to everything. The balcony provided great use of the Marina and a nice place to relax at the end of the day.

There wasn’t much that I didn’t like about the property. Guest should just know that they will need to walk up a series of steps to get to the entrance to the property.

Location and balcony view are amazing! You can see a great harbor view from the balcony. Room decoration and aesthetics are very cool. Marina is super friendly. She provided everything I needed and allowed an early check in 🙏🏻

There was some hygiene issue as I found a blood stain on my bed mattress :( Maybe it was missed as they took care of everything, but it was definitely a huge turn off.

Easy communication, good location away from the main old town which I prefer, short walk to ferry point, excellent beach super close, cutely done room with twin beds, AC, kettle, and fridge available, great veranda and a sun umbrella one could take to the beach.

Street noise audible including from bar opposite that plays music all day but stops around 11. That may have been a later time whilst I was there because of the World Cup matches being screened though.

PRO’s We arrived an hour or 2 early and the room was ready for us. We were able to let ourselves in. Communication with the host was v good. Location was fantastic 1 min walk to the local town beach, bar literally across from the apartment, Ice cream place below a few restaurants on the way in town 5-7 mins Lots of very local supermarkets A balcony which a lot of rentals on that stretch don’t have . Kettle, mini fridge, plates, bowls, mugs, wine and standard glassses. Cutlery, bread board. Bottle opener. We did make our own rolls one day so that came in handy. There was a unit in the hall, with towels, toilet rolls, bin bags etc I presumed you could help Yourself too which we did along with games 20-40 years old.

Cons In need of a huge upgrade especially electrically. Installation 50-60 years old. Old screw in fuses, no RCD protection Power isolated in the bathroom which was just as well as no RCD protection. Wall sockets hanging out of the wall in desperate need of screwing back. Air con unit did its job, but not correctly installed outside and the access water goes into a big bottle via a tube on the balcony. We were not told about this and on the 1st day hung our washing out and all the towels got soaked, as it over flowed, we had to keep an eye on this and constantly empty it. Mozzies loved the apartment stagnant water laying around from the aircon did not help With this. The place wasn’t the cleanest nor was in dirty as such ! The shower needed a good clean out as the plug hole was full of hair and didn’t drain well so you showered and was left in a pool of water. The entrance from the stairs when you walk into the garden is a mess, the first door in didn’t open fully, as does the middle door it bangs on a unit as does the door into the bedroom. Simple things like dead plants in the entrance hall and balcony let the place down. This place needs a huge lot of TLC For 50 euro a night was it worth it .. for safety NO, I’d spend the extra money and go else where. Such a shame as you can see it had / could be such a great place.
