Faliraki Apartments

I have no words for this facility! Wonderful , minimal but functional , the owners sweet and always available , private beach included in the living room with sun loungers and umbrellas, beautiful water , 3 min from the center of benitses , 20 from the airport, bus stop right in front of the entrance , we are a gay couple and have never bothered us , indeed super cozy , I hope to be able to return for the next holidays!!

Considering that the structure is very cheap, I can only be satisfied with the stay. The rooms are not very small (actually we had a real apartment, with a bathroom - a little rough - a small kitchen - where you can not cook, but only prepare breakfast or little else - a sitting area, a bedroom with a spectacular view of the sea) The apartment was clean, although a little old, and there are small precautions that are often missing in economic facilities (the socket near the bed, the hangers both in the bedroom and in the bathroom). The property is located in front of the sea, just use an underpass to get to the beach, and has a clean and pretty beach, with sun loungers and a bar (this one a bit expensive). The owner is very nice and if you want you can rent cars and scooters (we had already provided elsewhere). There is also a bus stop just below the house. The only real note concerns the fact that, as in many places in Greece, you cannot flush toilet paper down the toilet, so the baskets should be emptied every day. This does not actually happen, and it is not clear when it is done. The first days were done every other day, then 4 days have passed. What is referred to as a private car park, is actually a public car park along the road, so at certain times there is no space because there are parked people who go to the beach. Or when the hotel is full the seats are not enough. The wifi is not working. Other things to report or that could be improved: it would be useful to have an awning on the balcony, since it is in full sun and already in the morning it is very hot (the metal table on the balcony is hot). The shower has the curtain and not the box, and every time you use the shower the bathroom floods. There's some problem with the pipes, both the bathroom and the air conditioner, so there's still water around. Due to the street passing right in front of the window, the rooms are very noisy. One of the two French doors (luckily the one in the living room) does not close well.

I wasn't too fussed about the lack of shower curtain. When it's 39C outside you spend a lot of time in the shower! A shower curtain would only get in the way. The apartment is basic, clean and in need of a little tlc. The owner was friendly and polite. The beach and it's restaurant was a great asset. If you want a reasonably priced place to stay look no further.
