    Everything was great. We liked that our room was on the 2nd floor because we saw the sea from the balcony.

    The host, Effi, is a charming lady. She met us and showed us everything. The service is very flexible. You can ask anything you need. We also ordered breakfast at the property and enjoyed our meal in the beautiful garden. The territory is very lovely and comfortable. The rooms are clean. The furniture is in good condition and has comfortable beds.

    Effi's apartments are a gem in Platanias, right on the beach. The chill out area overlooking the beach is just wonderful. Rooms were very clean and host super helpful - both before booking and then allowing us to keep the room for a late check-out. Thank you Effi, we hope to be back for a longer stay at your apartments!

    Effi Apartments was absolutely stunning. Super location directly on the beach - perfect for an early morning swim, beach day, and late night dip. The room is spacious with a little kitchen and a nice balcony to drink your morning coffee and dry your beach towels. There’s a nice outdoor area and garden that you can use which has a beautiful view of the ocean. Effi was a fantastic host - very accommodating, service-minded and kind. Overall, 12/10! Would definitely recommend to stay here if you’re going to Platanias.

    No complaints, everything was great

    The owner Effi and all her staff were so wonderful, the apartment was super clean, modern, and comfortable, and walking distance to everything - shops, restaurants, bars, grocery stores, the bus stop, etc. It was also right on the beach and had a beautiful little garden area to hang out in. Even though it was in the heart of Platanias, the apartment was in a peaceful, quiet street away from all the noise. I would recommend it to everyone!

    The host was super friendly and made an effort to ensure my arrival and stay was top notch, I arrived late on Tuesday night and she had prepared with a taxi pick up, water, and snacks in the room. She suggested places to visit and was always available through whatsapp if and when I needed to sound board with her - 10/10 stay! The area was calm, but still in the very center of Platanias, and had good agreements with some of the restaurants and bars in the surrounding area.
