Pros:

The property is located very close to the Old Town. Finding parking is quite easy; there is free parking available until 9:00 PM at the school located diagonally across from the hotel recommended by Eirini. The room was a good size, and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. We would like to thank Eirini especially for all her help and recommendations.

Cons:

Everything was so nice.
