We would like to come again anytime! The units are great modern and well-appointed for chairs or tables on the balcony. This property is in a particularly good and handy location, close enough to the center and venetian port and the KTEL bus station. There's a good choice of restaurants to choose from, like Hagiati, set within 5 minutes walk or so.
