Location and type and quality of accommodation

So nice a roomy! great accommodation for 7 people. The 2 large decks were amazing! loved that there was a washing machine & lots of cloths line.

The apartment is big, we were 7 adults and a 2 year old baby and there was plenty of space. There are 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms and a large kitchen. The bedrooms are well air conditioned. There is a washing machine. Street parking was easy and we had 2 big cars. The hosts were very willing to make our stay comfortable and made a special effort to have the place ready for us early even though the previous tenant left late. They waited for us in the apartment and helped carry some of the heavy luggage upstairs.

The photographs on the Booking site are accurate but don't tell the true story. The apartment is on the 3rd floor of a charmless apartment building from the 50's or 60's with no lift. If you are young and fit its not a problem but if not and you have a heavy suitcase with you will struggle. There is no suitable storage space in the bedrooms for clothes. We had to keep most of our clothes in suitcases for the 5 days we were there. There is a large closet in the hallway but it's not convenient. The owners have to put in proper closets in the bedrooms. The kitchen is very basically equipped with low quality cutlery and pots and pans. The toaster doesn't work. The fridge is small for 7 people who don't want to eat all their meals out and buy groceries. It was iced up in both the freezer and main compartment. There is no electric kettle for boiling water so you have to use a pot. There weren't enough bin bags or toilet paper for 7 people for a 5 day stay. There weren't even enough clothes pegs to hang our beach towels or our laundry. There is no place to sit together as a family except for the kitchen because the living room was converted into a large bedroom and as a result there isn't a comfortable lounging area. There is a double bed and 2 uncomfortable loungers along the walls which also serve as beds.. You can see the sea from the balcony but that's only if you ignore the ugly buildings all around the apartment. There are no cushions on the wooden furniture on the balcony which make it vey uncomfortable. Walking into town takes about 7 minutes but is along a narrow, busy road with two way traffic and no sidewalk along most of it. Walking to the beach takes about 10 minutes. Again, no big deal if you are fit but is uphill on the way back so be aware.
