    Loved the location. So easy to find your way to the tourist spots and harbour. Easy walking. Apartment was spotlessly clean, fresh towels everyday. Nice balcony with furniture and a clothes drying frame. There is a lift to get to higher floors. Opposite there is a mimi mart and another around the corner. There is a laundry also around the corner you can drop your washing off to. On nearby Boubolina St there are some great Tavernas which can be cheaper but the food is excellent.
