Mixed feelings
The location for this property is very convenient, near the old town & next to major bus stops. It also has interesting amenities such as a mini-kitchen and a lounge.
There are a few drawbacks:
1- you need a code & key to open the apartment, but it is not given to you readily. Despite having filled the questionnaire ahead of my arrival in Corfu, I had not received the details & had to call from the airport taxi to get the codes. It was very stressful arriving late at night in a city I didn’t know with no idea of how I could get to my room. It was eventually solved but just giving the codes with the reservation would be less stressful.
2- the apartment is on the second floor of a building with no elevator & not suitable for disabled. front door is always open, with a dirty vestibule & staircase (cigarette butts, trash) blown in by the wind or left by people.
3- the room is ok, but walls are stained. A paint job would do it good. The windows give on small back alleys. The bed was very comfortable. The drapes aren’t covering the window properly & the building in the front of the window has a movement activated light that blinks all night long. The apartment overall was quiet.
4- the bathroom has a few issues. The soap dispensers in the shower aren’t working well. The shower has no door so the floor gets wet when you shower. There is a pervasive sewer smell in the apartment that seems to be coming from water reflux in the bathroom.
