Good size apartment in the centre of Skopelos town close to harbour, shops and restaurants. Very clean and well equipped Eleni was lovely and gave us huge fresh eggs from her chickens and cucumbers and tomatoes from her garden.

On our first day when the power went out the hosts brought us packaged croissants and juice as a compliment while we waited for the technician to fix it, which was very sweet of them. The bathroom and room were renovated, the bathroom was good and the drains worked properly, water pressure was good, although hot water sometimes would run out. There were antibug screens on the windows which was great considering the amount of critters flying/crawling about everywhere. The air conditioning worked well.

Before we even went there the hosts sent us a message via Booking stating we had to pay a deposit (half of the stay's price) before we got there and via their bank account, not via Booking. They didn't provide their full bank details until several conversations later where we would try to transfer the sum and there would be some information missing to complete the transaction. I had to verify with booking.com's customer support that this was legit as it was a very weird thing to do, paying outside the platform half of the stay's price prior. The actual stay: We were placed in a first floor room with no good view, the construction site next door was barely a meter away from our windows, and the walls were quite thin considering we could hear literally everything from our neighbours upstairs and next to us. The electricity went off twice, first on our arrival, second time during our stay, which also blew out a lightbulb. The WiFi was barely there if at all, very slow and only worked in one corner of the room. The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable, we woke up most every day with our necks and backs stiff and in pain. The kitchenette was poorly equipped - there was a very old washing sponge we had to throw out and buy a new one ourselves, we also bought kitchen paper and ice forms for the freezer as there were none. There were no condiments (salt, pepper), no oil, no proper cutting knives and board, the utensils and plates were badly washed and we had to rewash them in order to use them. Good thing we brought our own kettle because there was none as well. We also had to buy our own toilet paper before they brought us any extra on the fourth/fifth day, there was only one roll available initially. The hosts (woman and I'm assuming her mother or mother in-law) barely knew any English so communication was quite difficult, they would have the woman's husband translate into English sometimes as he knew it better.

I had a terrible transport accident, shortly after I checked in, and it's so serious make me totally lost my memory about this studio and even the whole island, while I woke up, already 3 days later in a hospital in mainland. So to be honest, I can't remember any detail of accommodation, even the whole island. But the host help me to keep my luggage until my friend coming to pick up in few days later.
