Flat by the Beach Voula

Très bien, vu notre besoin d’être proche pour un mariage

C’était propre et effectivement proche de la plage. Ce serait vraiment bien de proposer un panier de bienvenue avec un paiement. Nous sommes venus de Belgique en voiture et arriver à 22h sans connaître le quartier était un peu difficile.

− Que deux couteaux à tartiner. C’est dommage qu’il n’y avait pas de vrais frigo avec compartiment de congélateur, pour ceux qui ne veulent pas manger à l’extérieur tout le temps c’est un peu juste avec un mini frigo. Les six bandes de circulation pour arriver à la plage

Very disappointing

location was very convenient

− I had to check out on the second day and look for different accomodation to stay because there was no working shower. I informed the owner immediately but it took them 48 hours to do something about it. Not a well maintained apartment that lacks basic facilities like the shower, which was unusable. The mini fridge was sub-optimal and had a weird smell, so I could not use it. Definitely does not worth the price and the responsiveness about the shower not working was very slow. I had to spend 48 hours after my arrival without a shower and had to relocate, which was very frustrating.

It was almost perfect. I will definitely rent this place again. I hope they can sort out the pipes.

The flat is really comfortable and spacious. It's on the second floor, apt number 1. It has a nice and long balcony overlooking the busy main street with a view of the sea. There is a bus stop and tram stop right next to it. Large windows all around let in a lot of sunlight. The bed and other furniture is comfortable, there is plenty of clean and freshly washed towels, bed sheets to use. There is a kitchenette with a stove, an oven, two coffee makers, one for ground coffee, one for dolce gusto capsules (we didn't use them), and an electric kettle. There is also a fridge, small and battered, but it gets the job done. There is a pot, a sieve, a colander, glasses, a pan and cutlery and crockery. There is also a heater in the bathroom (you pull on the string for heating modes - third time to turn it off). There is also a washing machine (top-loaded) which we used once - very practical. The host is amazing, responds immediately to emails, was very accommodating and prepared the flat earlier than in the agreement which was extremely helpful. That was incredible. Everything was nice and clean. There was also a TV set (which we didn't use but it does work). There are also two AC vents and remotes to control them but we didn't use them. We also saw an ironing board and an iron, two laundry racks, blow dryers, a vacuum cleaner, etc. This does feel like at home more or less. We cooked our own meals for a week. Be careful - the water is VERY HOT. Scalding hot. You turn it on by switching the fuse/breaker (labelled HOT WATER) in the small fuse box panel right next to the door to the bathroom. The second fuse is for the oven/stove. There is wifi there and you get instructions about how to connect in an email from the host before arrives (with the code to the key locker as well).

− This would be a 9 or 10 star review but the plumbing inside the building is old and unfortunately sometimes during the day or night there is a really nasty smell in the apartment. We kept the windows open all the time and sometimes had to close the bedroom door at night. Also the shower drain is kinda slow to take in the water. When you shower the water will spill on the bathroom floor and make puddles - but you simply can put a small tower there to soak it and then dry in on the rack out on the balcony. It's not a big deal. One of the night-lamps over the head of the bed was loose (ripped out from the plaster) and felt like it might fall off any time (it didn't).
