    There was a bit of a shortage on catering eg only one mug so if four people had been sharing it would have been an issue. Just for the future, we would recommend plugs be provided for the bathroom sink and the kitchenette, it would make things much easier. Internet was a bit sporadic and maybe needs a booster?

    The welcome was brilliant, although it turned but we had booked a bigger room than was needed, however that gave us plenty of space and that was good. The views from room 7 were great and it was only a short walk down the main road to the fantastic Kalives beach. The included air conditioning was another bonus.

    There is nothing to not like in Sofias place really.

    Sofia has a cute property in Kalyves, very easy to find and well located to visit both the village and to travel to other destinations in the island. On top of that is walking distance from the beach in Kalyves (5 min away at most, I would say less). The rooms are spot on and Sofia made sure they stood very clean throughout the visit. The rooms are very nice, and they have a balcony area to stretch out and perhaps have dinner or breakfast outside (fully recommended). Finally, Sofia is a super-host, she was very kind to us all the time but, the last day of our visit she went above and beyond the call of duty. Our daughter got sick just when it was time to leave and Sofia made sure she could leave feeling better, she even came up, after realizing that our daughter had a fever, with pediatric analgesic and careful worked out instructions to dose her correctly according to weight. I cannot stress enough that she made us feel almost like being at home. We will certainly be back here if we visit the island again.

    didnt realize the room didnt actually have a window/balcony with the view, there was a small ”own” balcony but you needed to get out of the room first. it was lovely still. No shampoo, only hand soap.

    Location and the view were absolutely the best things, the room was nice and clean.

    Initially felt you could do with a toaster maybe a few more cooking utensils but once you get out and about and discover all the bars and restaurants you realise that it works

    Bery basic studio apartment however very quaint. Number 2 what you lack in space you gain on a lovely sunny terrace. Extremely well serviced every couple of days. It’s a lovely set up as you can interact with other guests

    Nothing to dislike.

    The studio was modern, clean and comfortable. We had a great view from our balcony. Sofia the owner was welcoming on our arrival, serving us with drinks and biscuits. The WI FI was good, there is a good amount of crockery, kettle and coffee maker, enough to make breakfast and light meals. Bedding and towels changed regularly. The location is on the edge of the village, which makes it peaceful, but within ten minutes walk you are by the beach, tavernas, shops, and bus stop. Kalyves has everything you need and always a hive of activity in the mornings as locals shop and stop for coffee. A warm welcome awaits from Sofia and we look forward to returning in the near future.

    Sofia is the nicest host, the apartment was perfectly clean (they also provide towel and bed sheets changes). The position in very good, less than 5 minutes walk to Kalyves beach. The kitchen has everything you need and there is also and outside shower! Would definetily come back
