Very friendly host, nice views, located short car drive away from multiple island attractions.

Slow wifi.

Johnnie the owner was in contact with us from the start at met us himself taking us and our luggage to the apartment

Honestly nothing the whole visit was fantastic

Breathtaking view, cozy apartment with everything we needed, Johnny was very friendly and helpful. It was wonderfully quiet, though in October there aren't too many people around.

stunning location and fantastic view

nothing

Location was ok although access onto town was very steep. The owner was a real nice helpful guy.

Bed was very uncomfortable. Veranda was very very narrow. Property very dated. Bathroom had no vent fan. Shower curtain didn't prevent water getting on the floor.

The views were lovely. When sat out early morning and evening.

Not for someone with poor mobility! Lots of steps and a steep climb to the apartment block. Would benefit from set of furniture on back veranda as too hot to sit out the front after 10.30am until the evening.

We stayed in the top floor apartment (no 7) first two weeks of September. Great location if you don’t mind stairs and some walking uphill, central to the harbour but not on a main street. Very quiet at night. Good views of the harbour and views of a tree-covered bank/old olive grove behind, where I never saw a soul. A nice private spot. Owner Johnny very helpful and responsive. Our apartment had balconies front and back and lots of windows so really good for ventilation during the day. Air condition. Plenty of wardrobe / cupboard storage. Parking on site and some on street nearby if this is full (only happened once in a 5 night stay). Lots of tavernas along the seafront within 5 minute walk as well as a tiny pebble beach / nice swimming spot. A bigger beach (Paradise beach) with taverna on road above just 1km away (15 minute walk or 5 minute drive). The best restaurant we found however was the other direction (inland) 5 minutes away - Pergola - a family run business with a lovely upstairs terrace and views and the best food we had anywhere. A couple of small mini-markets in the town within 5 minutes walk, for basic food provisions. Payment cards accepted pretty much everywhere but good to bring cash as it’s generally preferred due to bank fees (and the economy was traditionally cash-based). Electricity in apartment on all the time (not key-dependent) so you can charge your phone/tablet while you’re out. Agia Efimia is a good base for exploring the island by car. Quite close to Melissani Lake & the Drogerati Cave (combined entrance ticket just €10, just turn up). Owner Johnny also does small power boat hire if you fancy a self-drive day at sea.

Wifi not up to scratch - very patchy and intermittent (which was more of a problem for me than normal as I had a couple of work things to attend to which proved tricky). Maybe Johnny will consider upgrading this for next year as it’s so important to many people now. Kitchen equipment a little sparse if you want to cook much, though Johnny rectified this somewhat when asked. Could do with a bread/sharp knife (there were two steak knives but not so good for cutting fruit and veg)! A few ‘end of season’ maintenance issues like a blown lightbulb in the bathroom and the fridge-freezer needing defrosting (so the fridge kept freezing the contents until we got the temperature suitably adjusted and the ice melted off the back) - but these were small issues which I hadn’t bothered to raise with Johnny and in fairness I’m sure he would have put them right if I had. The kettle was broken which he immediately replaced when asked. Generally good standard of cleaning. Room layout a little bit awkward to manoeuvre (getting at wardrobe, going to the loo at night without stubbing your toe on a chair leg or your hip on a counter corner) until I did a little rearranging (turning table orientation around, sliding sofa & coffee table across a bit, moving a chest a few inches...) which improved this no end! Perhaps it just needed a woman’s touch! 🥰

Great location. Very clean. Fantastic panoramic view. Big space. Nice balcony for breakfast and evening drinks.

The bathroom was in the main bedroom, it there were more than two of us there would have been no privacy. Inadequate for a penthouse. The shower tray was tiny and the curtain didn't hold the water, especially when washing your hair, it leaked all over the floor.
