Iris Studios

The balcony was too small for two people to sit comfortably, and the maid didn’t come every day, not even to take out the rubbish. The studios need a full renovation. On arrival, the air conditioning didn’t work and the humidity felt like 300%. Two days later, the kitchen tap broke and leaked water, so we could hardly sleep. The following day there was no hot water. Our vacation was almost ruined.

I’m an old vagabond and have lost count of how many apartments I’ve stayed in. I don’t need much, just a functional place where I can live normally. Apartment 101 was terrible. There was no cold water at the sink, the toilet was blocked and smelled awful, and one stove barely worked, taking 20 minutes just to make coffee. Cats were all around, jumping on us while we ate and defecating and vomiting on the terrace. A man also told us to turn off the light and open the curtain so the bar light would illuminate our room, probably to save electricity. He left us alone only after we explained that this violated our privacy. The terrace was nice, with a great view, and the bed was comfortable. That’s about all the good I can say. I rarely write negative reviews.

It’s close to the main street but still very quiet, a lovely place to stay. The owner is polite and very nice, and I’d recommend it for a holiday. The internet can be slow sometimes, though most of the time the Wi-Fi is fine. A cleaner comes every morning and changes the towels. The air conditioning works very well, and every room has a coffee maker.

The owners were wonderful and did everything to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Rooms were spacious, clean, and tidy, with very comfortable beds and pillows. They were cleaned daily, and I think the sheets and towels were changed every three days. The garden bar has natural shade and space for kids, which is handy for families. It’s peaceful but close to restaurants and supermarkets. We’ll definitely come back! Hugs to Jorgos and Christos!
