    Great location, Tassos was responsive and provided great local recommendations.

  • Roger from Jersey (9/10)

    Beautiful, spacious, stylish and clean apartment in a great location for Kos town nightlife. There were two spacious bedrooms, a good sized lounge and a small kitchen with dining table. It was also lovely to have an extra toilet separate from the one in the shower room. The agents running the apartment were also incredibly helpful when our flight from the UK was cancelled due to air traffic control issues, sadly delaying the start of our holiday. There was also a welcome gift of a bottle of wine, water, carton of juice and coffee pods for the coffee machine, which was also much appreciated.
