  Fantastic location at edge of old town, great apartment (just need a hot shower!)

  Fantastic location, very handy for airport bus, right on edge of old town, many restaurants etc in area. Very well presented property, comfortable beds. Generous supply of minor items in kitchen, good internet, TV etc., good a/c

  Hot water system is solar and the supporting immersion heater is not functioning- queried this with host and was advised that the hot water would come if we run enough water. It did not. Probably ok in summer, but I cannot recommend this place for the winter months!! This place is one of the best- but without hot water I would not stay again!

  For young backpackers only.

  Drop off and pick up are about 30-40 meters at the parking lot near Archaeological Museum. The picture sent to us by the owner the day before we arrived showed a green door between white wall and dark wall. That's it. It was not like that when we arrived at 16:00. The entrance to the apartment is actually in the back wall of Kosmima Gold & Silver. The proprietor of Kosmima was very unhappy she had to move her jewelry displays away from the door so we could get in. It is very inconvenient going in and out especially when the shops are open. This green door merely opens again to the outside where one is confronted with 25 narrow stairs that have a 180° turn in them. We had to carry our suitcases up those tight, windy stairs. That's hazard #1. It is completely inappropriate for anyone with a large suitcase let alone two older visitors. Once the struggle of hauling up two large suitcases was finished we saw a nicely decorated living space with lots of furnishings UNTIL we walked to the kitchen where, at its back, there is a 28 cm step up to the bathroom. This is the most worrisome hazard of all; hazard #2. I've never seen any apartment or hotel room that is built on two levels such as this one. I am 80 years old and it posed the most dangerous living situation I've ever encountered. We have never seen steps inside a supposedly one-level apartment, certainly not one almost a foot tall. Then there is another small step up to small back bedroom that has two twin beds both of which have broken mattresses. The front bedroom is spacious with a king bed. The combination living-dining room is early 20th century style and there is a fan if you need such. The sofa is extremely hard; it must be a sleeper sofa. The WiFi was weak but adequate. There are plenty of outlets around the room. The bathroom is not well kept and too small. The shower floor is extremely slick with no anti-skid covering and no hand-holds. That is hazard #3.

  Entrance in the back of shops. Narrow stairs on the outside of the building. One-foot tall step from kitchen to bathroom and back bedroom. Small step up to the back bedroom, Twin bed mattresses are broken in back bedroom. Shower floor is very slick and dangerous.

  Highly recommended & perfectly located

  Excellent communication with the owners at all times. Flat perfectly located for sightseeing, eating out, shopping. Thoughtfully appointed with almost anything that might be needed during one's stay (eg, kettle, coffee machine, microwave, plenty of towels & bedding, and so much more) and cold water in the fridge! Spotlessly clean.

  Armchairs & sofa were too hard and uncomfortable.
