Markakis Apartments

Die Lage Die Sauberkeit Die Freundlichkeit des Vermieters

Es war alles Petfekt

Ήταν πάρα πολύ καθαρό και όλα ήταν άψογα. Οι οικοδεσπότες πάρα πολύ φιλική και μας παρείχαν ότι πληροφορία θέλαμε

Free parking offered by the property. Large patio with good view. Tavernas and nice beach bars less than 150 m away. Very welcoming host.

We didn't have issues with that but it is worth mentioning. Not a negative of the property, but some people may find difficulties with the steep hill to reach the house.

Friendly owners Proximity to restaurants and shops

Sehr gute Lage, mittendrin, nah an Geschäften, Supermärkten, Restaurants und Boutiquen. Eingebettet in ein Wohngebiet, sodass man sich nicht abgeschieden, sondern sehr sicher fühlt. Die Gastgeber sind sehr zuvorkommend, aufmerksam und freundlich, sodass ich mich allein mit Säugling immer aufgehoben und sicher gefühlt habe.

1) Die Fenster haben den Verkehrslärm (insbesondere Motorcross-Räder und Mofas) durchgelassen, sodass man selbst bei geschlossenen Fenstern den Lärm bis nach Mitternacht gehört hat. Eine Investition in neue Fenster würde sich sehr lohnen, denn die Lage und Immobilie insgesamt sind sehr besonders und immer wieder einen Besuch wert. 2) Ebenso könnte man in neues Besteck und Geschirr investieren - das wirkte sehr in die Jahre gekommen und spärlich. 3) Leider wurde mir die Mitteilung der Unterkunft bzgl. meines Check-Ins im Booking-Chat nicht pünktlich zugestellt, sodass ich abends im Dunkeln allein mit Säugling und viel Gepäck vor der Tür stand und nicht wusste, wie ich hineinkomme. Das war ein technischer Fehler von Seiten Bookings (ich arbeite im digitalen Marketing und bin durchaus in der Lage Nachrichten und Chats zu lesen und zu verfassen). Nach einiger Zeit hat sich aber alles geklärt, sodass wir sicher ankommen konnten.

Late arrival, accommodation open with keys. Stunning views, beautifully clean. 1 bathroom was enough for 4 ladies & 1 man surprisingly! Great maid service, Marceda lived across the road & regularly emptied bins & changed towels & bedding. Location was no more than a 5 minute walk to bars & restaurants. And 10-15 mins to the beach.

Only issues were: Short but steep hill every day which if we were younger would have been no issue, but as we were all over 65yrs. and a couple struggling with breathing issues it was a problem which is the only thing preventing us from returning.

Nothing.

Please be aware that the pictures on booking.com are very misleading, and the reality is very different. I always book fairly basic accommodation but this was another level. These apartments are in desperate need of an overhaul or even just some inexpensive replacements to make it bearable. The toilet seat was cracked in half and had been "fixed" several times with filler, which had pubic hair stuck to it? The shower curtain had orange and black mould, cups in kitchen were chipped and dirty, kettle had big chunks of limescale floating in it, bedside cupboard door was hanging off and water damaged/rotting, cutlery drawer filthy, picture on wall with cracked glass, aircon very temperamental (take batteries). It was a very depressing site after a hot 3 hour drive. Beds are like something from a prison cell. Communication with the owner had been great up until we expressed our disappointment and that we were leaving. We were met with a "you get what you pay for" attitude and a refusal to offer even a partial refund. Gave us the incorrect details for our parking space, which resulted in our car rental company calling us just as we were having dinner to say we needed to move the car. The owner wished us "good luck finding more luxurious accommodation." We did book somewhere else, which was worlds apart from this place and only a fraction more in price, so please shop around and don't be misled by good pics and reviews. It's just a shame we had to pay twice. The owners messaged the next morning to say they had second thoughts and would like to offer us a bigger room (still no refund), but we had already left. A bigger room was not the issue, I don't think anything has been replaced since the 80s, even the broken stuff. Terrible.

Posizione perfetta. Vicino al centro e molto silenzioso . Un bel balcone ventilato e con vista mare. Posto auto privato . Pulizie periodiche!

Il bagno é l'unica nota negativa dell'appartamento. In particolare la doccia. Piccoli particolari che andrebbero curati. Aria condizionata solo nella camera da letto che funziona solo con tutte le finestre chiuse..... E chi dorme in salone?
