Mansion House(est.c1890)-Daedalus

Eri was great. Very helpful. Only thing I missed was an ironing board but that's just me. Loved the place

Great location set back from the old town but very central, 2 minutes walk to restaurants and cafes and close to where the ferry docks. Nice historic-looking apartment, with 2 bedrooms. A partial harbour view from a very nice patio to sit out on. Good comms with the owner. Nice beach a 10 minute walk away. Halki is a beautiful, tranquil island.

If you are of limited mobility, there are some steep steps up to the apartment (though not too many). There are also steps to each of the beds, so this could be difficult for older / disabled guests. Most unusually, it's not really a complete house but 2 completely separate bits. The kitchen area / second shower room is not directly attached to the upstairs apartment / bedrooms at all, so you have to walk outside in public and down some steep stairs, on a small public alley, to get to it. This is not really made clear in the description. This makes it a little tricky to get food, drinks etc. though it's fine when you get used to it. The downstairs area seems to be a converted former stables or similar, so though interesting and quirky, it's not a great place to sit in because there are virtually no windows and it's very dark. But the outside patio is great for this.

Everything

I would have preferred a kettle cups etc in the upstairs sitting area - so i didn’t have to go downstairs to the seperate house to make a coffee
