Magda's Apartment

The apartment was spacious and clean, better in person than we expected. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, well equipped and well presented.

Nothing! The only disadvantage is the limited parking space near the premises, but nothing to do with the property, just normal in a small island village I guess.

We are a family of 4 (inc 2 young kids, 4 and 1). We had a wonderful stay at Magda's apartment. We were met by her dad who lives in the apartment downstairs, who showed us to the door and let us in. They had even left us a few bits to get us started (milk, bread, fruit, even a home baked cake from mum downstairs!). Such kind, welcoming people. The place is clean, well kept, spacious and has 2 bedrooms, so plenty of room for us all. They gave us a baby cot which was perfect for the little one. Spacious bathroom. Good aircon. Kitchen to cook breakfast and stuff for the kids. Washing machine. There's even a little kids playpark at the end of the street (swings, slide etc), maybe 100m from the door (in my photo you can actually see the apartment door in the background it's so close). My 4yr old went every night! Great location too. 10 mins drive to the nearest beach and within easy reach of loads of others. Definitely try Halikounas beach. At least 5 tavernas in walking distance, all great. Supermarket at the end of the street. Honestly I can't think what else you could possibly want.

The worst I can say is that the short road up to apartment building is pretty narrow and the only parking is back at the main road (only 100m from the building). And there are some fairly steep steps up to the apartment from the street. Carrying luggage up was hot work, but other than that the stairs were nothing our 4 year old couldn't handle. The balcony, which had worried us before we arrived as a risk for our 1 year old, was actually fine as they have mosquito nets over the doors so you can keep the shutter doors open and still have the breeze while the nets keep the baby off the balcony. Best of both worlds really.
