Greece Trip.

It is definitely off the beaten path and quite, well except when the neighborhood dogs start barking.

It is about 1.2km from the beach area, which is a good journey especially,
if you take the wrong road, like we did.

Taxi drivers complained about driving up the road, hard to turn around.

If you are on a budget and only need a place to sleep, this property may meet your needs. But don't expect much.

The property is not near the sea nor near the airport. The pictures in the listing are a bit misleading. Anticipate a 25 Euro taxi ride to/from the airport, and about 50 Euro to/from to the main sites in Athens (ie Acropolis). On a hot day, it isn't a convenient walk from the beaches or restaurants. Rent a car or be prepared for high transportation costs.

The property is also located in an uninspiring neighborhood. When you turn off the main street to go to this property, there is a big pile of garbage. It says \"offers direct beachfront access, a sun terrace, and a lush garden\", but this is a significant overstatement. Garden views means looking at some plants, and a fully equipped kitchen but without some necessary supplies.

Inside the property, it was clean with few amenities. The photos they show are a compilation of three units, so depending on the unit, it may or may not match the photos. The shower was difficult to use, as when you lift it above your head, the water would stop flowing, so you needed to keep the shower head low to the ground. There is no microwave, so if you plan to use the kitchen to heat up left-overs, be prepared to need to use the stove top to do a simple reheat.

What was the most frustrating is the unit lists A/C, however, the unit is small and in the hot summer was barely able to cool the bedroom.

It’s advertised as a house like apartment but it’s 3 separate buildings. The one we booked had no stove, tiny fridge, and no cooking appliances. Also does not help that there are no restaurants nearby and only one grocery store (with which you cannot cook anything). WiFi was down the entire time and was told it was the wifi people’s fault but if you look at other reviews it’s happened for months. Room is tiny, don’t expect space to put your luggage. It is NOT “by the sea and airport”. You’ll have to take a $60 taxi to go to each destination. Also cannot contact the owner at all. There’s a “management” company which I’m pretty sure is just his wife, he just can’t take blame for his dump of a property. We left early because it was a horrible experience and requested a refund for the nights we didn’t stay. I wasn’t expected a yes, but I didn’t get anything. Just “I’ll contact the owner.” 2 days later and still no response. Save your money and energy. Only book this place if you have only one night you need to stay. Otherwise, stay away from this dump. (There is an actual pile of trash and junk that people pick from as you enter.)

It needs a remodel. An internet booster and a new mattress. We left and went to a new hotel down the street after walking in. If they remodel it, it would be fine. It takes 30 min to walk to the water from here too. Sorry. Hopefully they will make some changes and you will have a better experience.

Perfect place for a vacation IN local culture, not just a hotel isolated from locals. Kitchenette could use a toaster oven or some heating appliance for food.

Farrr from the beach, don't know why there are pictures of the water on the site.
20 minute drive from the airport, atleast.
Not much natural light at all.
Nice outdoor space.
If you're planning on cooking, brings your own supplies. There is not even salt, pepper or oil in the flat.
If you're looking for a rood over your head, it does a great job.
More than that, I suggest looking for a more functional and spacey place?

Due to traffic, very far from everything. Happy that the owner arranged transport to and from airport but we did have to pay heavily for it. We are used to the status of air conditioning in Europe, but this AC unit leaked water all over my things and when we contacted the manager about this he never responded. We were also surprised and unhappy to discover we couldn’t flush toilet paper. Again, we are familiar with this in some parts of Europe but for a private residence that should be advertised. We requested more toilet paper and the manager said he would deliver some before we arrived back to the property but he did not. Rather, he unlocked and entered the property without warning or asking while we were sleeping/going to sleep. We are two young women so this felt like a violation of privacy. And he still did not deliver the toilet paper. We aren’t sure what he did while he was there.

This property was deceiving on their description. This location is away from the airport, not near the sea and limited taxis come here. My husband I had to hitch a ride to get back to our room. The bathroom still had shampoos on the floor from the last stay. There was no toilet paper and there was no hot water. The bed was super uncomfortable. Never again

It was too far from the beach that it stayed it will be near and the property is too far from anything to do, you either need a car to travel or walk in heavy conditions for a long time to get to society and the bed was uncomfortable and certain things were very tacky.

There was no curtains in Kitchen next to bathroom so everyone can see inside from street, plus from kitchen you can see straight in to the bedroom could not be naked. no rubbish bin in kitchen no coffee in room . Plus no top sheet on bed only a mattress protection on bed plus pillow to hard . Location was very rural no shops for you to get anything food . But the people very nice offered to take me to shops to get food and drop my back to my accommodation for free . Plus they had a person pick me up from airport and take me back for the cost of $25.00 Euros that was excellent

Wonderful staff

There seem to be two different accommodations under the same name George’s Apartments: one is beachfront, the other one is 20-25 minutes walking distance from the beach. We stayed at the latter. The apartment is very basic but it is affordable and it does its job. We stayed two nights here, but I would recommend it for mostly for overnight layover. It's not close to the city center or airport but they will help you get there: 25 euros airport roundtrip and free rides to the city center. There are some good restaurants on the beach.
The hotel staff is VERY helpful and reliable. On our way back, our driver was supposed to pick us up at 4:30 in the morning, and he arrived even earlier than was arranged!

OK for 1 night stay to catch a flight next day

The owner was accommodating. He offered to pick me up and drop me at the airport for 25 euro round trip. The place was about 15 minutes from the airport with nothing around it. He did also ask for an extra 5 euro for a cleaning fee. Overall an OK place to stay overnight to catch a flight the next day.

The only good thing about this property is that we had a free pick up from the airport and he picked us up and dropped us off at a restaurant for free.and the bed sheets were clean. The outside of this property was sketchy and rough. Ithe property was in a rural area. Almost didn’t stay the night. We only stayed one night to catch a early morning flight. Thank God! The fridge was old and was extremely noisy. The inside was a 2/5 had a terrible musty mildew old smell. Sorry wouldn’t recommend at all.

I booked two rooms and for 4 people.
The driver who picked us up didnt say we was going to be separated with long distance until we arrived. When we arrive he saperated us saying we'd only be 5 minutes apart. We ended up being 25 minutes apart or more until my other two friends asked him to drive them back to us other two. When he meet us he asked for 8 euros for cleaning the rooms why didnt i know about this when i first mayde the booking?
Is was the most terrible condition of the room ive seen, defenetly not worth 45 euros / night. I wouldn't even stay there for free. The electricity outside the area was not working it was dark and creepy. If i would stay there by my self i would freak out and probably call the police or something. I cant believe Expidia recommends something like this to clients. I will never book or recommend expidia for anyone ever. I wish i had photots. But what I saw online was not what we got there.

Plus points: In nice rural surrounding. Mini-breakfast there for layover, basic kitchen facilities, quiet place, worth the money, affordable, terrace with chairs and table. It is essential to also book the pick-and-drop from the airport for 25 € total. Next shops and restaurants 20 min walking distance away.

Not what we had imagined

We were happy to receive a text from the property, offering to pick us up at the airport for a reasonable price. A subsequent message informed us that there would be an additional 5 Euro charge for cleaning. The driver was waiting on us at the airport, even after a late arrival, and he was very courteous. We drove a very long way to the property, in spite of its billing as close to the airport, and we finally learned that road construction had impeded the shorter route. We were glad we accepted the offer for the ride to the room because no taxi or GPS would have EVER found it!

After having negotiated a cash payment for our shuttle drive, the employee changed his mind after our arrival and said he needed a credit card. He called someone and read the number to him over the phone and that was that: no receipt or documentation of any sort. The same driver arrived the following morning about ten minutes after our agreed upon time and we were just glad to see him, since we wouldn't have had any way to arrange a backup plan.

The room was very clean but quite basic in its furnishings. One main issue was the sense of a lack of privacy; a large window in the door overlooking a well lit parking area had no curtain. The window in the small kitchen was equally uncovered. If someone had wanted to break in, it would have been much too easy!

There was little to no hot water and we felt completely abandoned and isolated. (There was no one on property to consult about anything.)

The place did its job

Close to the airport for ou overnight layover. The driver that picked us up was very friendly and very responsible. He came back and drove us to the airport again at 4:30 in the morning!

There was no hot water when we stayed but it provided a bed for our layover which was exactly what this place was intended for.

Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

Das Apartment ist eher schlicht. Es fehlen Indoor-Sitzgelegenheiten und eine Garderobe (keine Kleiderhaken). Für einen Kurzaufenthalt von wenigen Tagen ist das Apartment aber gut geeignet. Bis auf gelegentliches Hundegebell ist das Apartment sehr ruhig in einer Wochenendhäuschen-Siedlung gelegen.
Zur Strandpromenade mit guten Tavernen sind es ca. 2 km. Sowohl Supermärkte als auch Bäckereien sind im Ort vorhanden. Die Nähe zum Flughafen stört nicht (kein bis kaum Fluglärm).

Ikke en apartment for mer enn et døgn.

Dette var en apartment man bruker for kun en overnatting. Det var lite, og verken rommet eller området var veldig koselig. Greit nok for en overnatting når det ikke er noen flyforbindelse samme dag. God service siden utleier kjørte oss til en hyggelig taverna ved sjøen hvor vi kunne spise middag, og hentet oss så vi kom tilbake igjen.
