Messembria Palace

Superb location, friendly and helpful host and lovely, clean accommodation. Also, very good value for money. My wife and family member had an exceptional stay at the apartment. The place was clean and the 2 bedrooms with separate bathrooms along with roomy lounge and kitchen were perfect for them. The host, Bart, was so helpful and promptly replied if we had any questions. He was always there if anyone needed anything. Would definitely stay again.

1. Big flat with kitchen, everything worked. Mentioned sofas in the living room/kitchen can be unfolded so you can sleep well even if you are tall. I liked the area: 10 minutes walk to the beach, but it's already not on the main road, so it's silent and picefull 2. There were many keys to the flat. So every of us can enter the flat independently. It's very nice. I'm surprised how often in many places even if you take a flat or house for 3 or 4 people you get only key to it. 3. I don't know how much it is bound to this season but the entire house and around had Russian speaking tourists. I guess they are from Ukraine (according to many car number plates outdoors). Full "Ukraine which we lost" experience. There was a clothes drier on a balcony.

A set of small things which didn't affect the overall impression. 1. No microwave oven. I don't use it, but my wife suffered. 2. Shower: after you take it the floor is wet near the toilet bowel too. It was drying quickly but anyway. 3. A glass for tooth brushes is located right under a container with liquid soap. 4. Automated entrance lock: it's a little bit tricky but not a problem if you get use to it. Just don't give up, hold the middle part of electronic key for a little bit longer, if no effect try to press "#" it seems it wakes up then. In general it works well, just requires some skill 5. On-street parking. It was really hard to find. We arrived in the evening. I ended up to park on a paid one here https://maps.app.goo.gl/MegoeRWsHWns1YnE7. Next day I was able to find a spot close by which was really free and there was an available place all the time. But you need to think, walk around and look.
