  : In my 20 years of travel experience around the world I have never experienced such a rude and unprofessional amateur of a host. The host was nice at first but after we spilled a bit wine on the sheets all hell broke loose. If he asked politely for us to pay, Id contact booking support to figure the reasonable price and would offer it - but instead the host just attacked us screaming for 10 minutes that we destroyed the sheets and if it ever happens again we will need to pay - so no, we were not explicitly asked to pay - btw. who does that - for some cheap sheets?! We stayed in and cooked every day and I cleaned it every day spotless - what was my good will. The cleaning lady however did a bad job, only replacing the towels every two days and not sweeping the floor once - what we didnt mind - but are attacked now for being dirty?! We went to sandy beaches every day - what can you expect and we didnt have a broom to clean the room even if I wanted to - again - it is the cleaning staff duty to clean - not the guest! To mention more faults - bad chairs about to break - we didnt break anything in the room thankfully, limescale and rust in the bathroom, old furniture that looks good on the photos but not in person. I have a video proof of leaving the room clean and tidy - better than we found it. We did not get what we paid for - this host has no idea of how to run this business, he wants the money and invisible guests. Avoid at all costs!

  : Stavros was the perfect host, so friendly and generous, the apartments were in a quiet location, close to everything you needed, bars, restaurants, beach, and the bus service around the island. Apartments were clean and spacious with good WiFi.
  : For self catering the cutlery was sparse, we mostly ate out so we managed, however if we had asked, I am certain, Stavros would have rectified this.

  : The host (Stavros) is very nice and very helpful (and speaks many languages: Greek, French, Polish, English). The location of the accommodation is at the start of Gouvia and you just walk into the city life of Gouvia.
  : There are not a lot of cooking utensils (pots and pans etc) and cutlery (forks, spoons, knives) in the accommodation. The organisation of the apartment, the beds and the chairs are just the same as any accommodation in Greece. It's comparable with German "grndlichkeit" (basic but practical).
