Ouranos Apartments by Paralia Living

Всичко беше супер! Ново, почистено, при влизане миришеше на препарат, което прави добро впечатление. В кухнята имаше всичко необходимо, кафемашината беше най-удобното нещо. На тихо и спокойно място, достатъчно далеч от шумотевицата, но и достатъчно близо да стигнеш пеша до крайбрежната.

Моя съвет към домакините е да оставят по една ролка с чувалчета и една метличка с лопатка, защото когато си на море просто на следващия ден всичко е замърсено, малко или много.

Pros: great location, quiet surroundings, and close proximity to the sea. The host is responsive and helpful.

The apartment is a bit more compact than the photos suggest,and there is no washing machine available.

BBQ area, distance from main road and beach, okay at all

sump pumps under sink and in the bathroom (smells like sewage), humidity in rooms, online check in from (I can’t open it), no trash can in the room, just basic kitchenware (no sharp knife or teaspoon)

As the rating says, the experience is somewhat in the middle. I liked that they responded quite fast to our messages, the room was a decent size to fit a family of 4 and there was a decently equipped kitchen. Aircon in both rooms, a table with 4 chairs on the balcony where we enjoyed to have breakfast and dinner with the kids. The location was not too far from the beach, however not that close either and at midday when the sun hits you in the head, the walk seemed a lot longer.

There were quite a number of things we didn't like, so keep on reading to get an idea of the sort of issues you can encounter... 4 days before our arrival I contacted the property, informing that we would arrive late in the evening with 2 small kids and we need to know how we can get the key to the apartment. They replied quickly saying there is no problem in that, and the day of our arrival they will send all details. The day of our arrival the details came, the key will be in a locker, all checkins were done the same. However when we arrived, there was no key in the locker, no one answered to the phone number in the message from them, to ask where's our key. Luckily there was some guest on the balcony, not sleeping yet, and he helped us to speak with somone, and finally we got into the apartment. I think this happens often, because a few days later some other guest had the same issue, they could not get in to their apartment. As we finally got in the apartment, we found unwanted guests in the bathroom: there were red ants all over the place, coming in from a pipe near the toilet. The 2nd day I expressed my disappointment with everything, the fact that we couldn't get in the apartment one night before and finding the bathroom full of ants. I asked for a new room. Meanwhile we put tissue paper around the pipe and that kind of solved the issue and the ants started not coming in anymore. They did reply quickly, saying they can give us a new room starting with the next day and that a team that will handle the ants situation is on their way. However as the new room was at a higher floor, and us being with the kids and stroller, we said we prefer to remain there provided the "ant team" will come soon and professionally solve the ants issue, as they said. Of course no one came till the end of our stay, but as the tissue hack around the pipe solved the problem, we weren't bothered by ants anymore.
