We booked this hostel on line and are very happy with our choice.The beds are clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. There are a 108 steps but we had help with our luggage and at other times it's like our own private gym! Breakfast is definately a plus and the kitchen is well stocked

We were a party of five and stayed in the two-bedroom apartment 500 meters from the hostel. The apartment is recently renovated, clean, very spacious and extremely well equipped with all necessary household appliances - and more.
