FRONTBEACH APARTMENT-180° SEAVIEW

Dirty neighborhood, description was inaccurate

Great apartment size and position. Helpful notes left re area with suggestions. Car parking usually fairly easy to get outside.Apartment needs some attention to older equipment.Lots and lots of stuff in apartment as it was someone's home not a full time rental. Wonderful balcony and views. Great access to small beach across road.

The property is in a run down apartment block and it is residential not a holiday apartment. It was still full of the the owners stuff, it was not clean, the BBQ was in a disgusting state, the towels were horrible and so was the bedding - I had to buy a quilt and towels. The handle came off the door and we had to buy a screwdriver to repair it. The only thing going for this apartment is the view - Nothing else - It was not worth the money I paid for it.

My wife and I stayed at this property for two weeks. If you're looking for a true Greek experience with an amazing view of the Corinthian Bay, this is the place for you. We spent the majority of our time on the balcony (why stay inside when there's million dollar view outside). The apartment is on the third floor of a five story building. There's a coffee shop on the first floor. The water is directly across a lightly used street from the building. The coffee shop/bistro has a seating area directly on the water that's fun to watch from the balcony. This is in a Greek neighborhood - not touristy at all. There is a pedestrian area full of shops, restaurants, etc. about two easy blocks away. We based out of this location and took day trips all over the Peloponesse and part of the mainland and it worked out great. Super easy and no packing/unpacking. I would definitely rent a car if staying here and planning on touring around. Parking is easy to find. It's also super safe. We walked all over the area at different times of the day and night and never felt threatened at all - definitely not something you can say about many American cities. I will say this is not a luxury place. It's super clean but not luxury. That didn't bother us a bit. So - stay here - you won't regret it!!!

Corinth is a bit off the beaten track for the usual tourist to stay, most just visit ancient Corinth, the canal and other attractions. But staying in Corinth gives you a real flavour of Greece- not just the commercialised tourist experience. Modern Corinth has some lovely areas, seafront restaurants and pebble beaches with warm, crystal clear seas, but also does reflect the current state of the Greek economy, so some buildings, shops and infrastructure could do with some TLC, including close to the apprartment. The appartment is not in the tourist quarter as such, so you get a real experience of living amongst the (very friendly) community. Inside the appartment it is light and comfortable with airconditioing and all creature comforts and a beautiful sea view from the large balcony. It is on the first floor- there is a bar ( regularly used by the locals and swimmers) below ( convenient!) with seats/tables on the sea front- people stay up quite late here, but we did not find it noisy- the constant wash of the sea is the main noise and this is pleasant. You can wander down the stairs, pop in for a swim and wander back. There is (free) parking outside, we never had a problem parking- having a car is a good idea in order to explore the area and go up to Athens too. Madlen, the lovely owner, could not have been more helpful, from the information and guidance offered before we arrived, meeting us at the appartment, and giving advice on places to visit and help whist we were there if we needed it. Ancient Corinth is a must, and the impressive canal, and of course Athens, but we discovered some beautiful beaches and scenery within half an hours drive- the ruined harbour of ancient corinth made for interesting snorkelling, though there is little to see above water- the beach there was empty except for us, and lovely although the approach is not too attractive! Lots of local restaurants ( look out for the family runs ones- see tripadvisor) and lcoal shops and market within a five minute walk All in all, my wife, daughter and I thorougly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone seeking a more authenitic experience of Greece, overlooking the sea with lovely sunsets and crystal clear seas. Not to mention Madlen, who could not have been more helpful.

Excellent stay!! The owner was very prompt in all my communications with her. She picked us up from the train station on time and even gave us a quick driving overview of some places in Corinth to find groceries, etc. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated and had everything we needed. It was a very fun place to stay with the sound of the waves at times quiet, and at others crashing! The water was beautiful and we swam in it for a refreshing experience after being in town. We attended the nearby farmer's/flea market on Saturday which was very close by and was a cultural experience! We loved that almost everything was within walking distance and it was in a very safe neighborhood with both internal and external security. We never heard any noises from other tenants in the building and we were fortunate to have no neighbors on either side of us so we enjoyed our outdoor veranda many times every day. It was a very short walk into the central part of the city where numerous eateries and shops were available all on pedestrian walkways only! The restaurants we enjoyed the most were the #1 Restaurant, The Corinthian House Grill, Petries for Gelato, and the bakery Mulwvas. Overall, this apartment and its owner were wonderful and we would most definitely stay here again! Thank you, Madlen!!!

Our family found the apartment to be ideally situated: directly in front of a quiet beach and just two short, quiet blocks away from the town centre shops, restaurants and bars. The apartment itself feels great – squeeky-clean and it’s clearly been very recently refurbished with really modern styling - white painted walls and ceilings, with glossy wood floors. The kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms are all equipped with very new furnishings which are all set-off by the bright décor. It faces the west which means you can see the sunset and the beach from the balcony. For travelling around outside of Corinth we used the efficient bus service, with a bus stop a block away from the apartment and the bus station in town for most of our travel, we also hired a car, covering over 1.5kKm during our stay, parking outside the apartment was no trouble at all, always plenty of space. Madlen kept us informed at all times prior to the rental and maintained a highly responsive watch on our communications during our stay –e.g. Madlen almost immediately after sending an email to Madlen she sent us the bus and train time-tables, plus a whole host of information covering places of interest we might like to visit- there are a whole raft of nearby classical sites we visited. Apart from being attentive and instantly responsivene, another example of how thoughtful and helpful Madlen and Davy where, is that they met us at Athens airport at 5:30am to give us the apartment keys and showed us just how short the walk was to the airport’s railway station in time to take to first train to Corinth and our holiday which we loved.

We are a family of 4 and we stayed at this wonderful apartment for a week and it we really enjoyed our time there! The apartment is very spacious and is very well furnished. The kitchen has everything you need when you are at home. We cooked most of our meals there. There are a couple of markets close by and there is a big market two blocks from the apartment that has fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, fish and bakery which is very convenient. There is plenty of street parking and also a garage close by. The apartment is so comfortable and the views from the balcony is so gorgeous that we had a hard time leaving to go out sightseeing. The host is very responsive and very caring. She has thought of everything before renting this space out. And, she is very accommodating. We want to thank her for helping us have a great vacation and always answering our questions with a smile. We could not have asked for a better home away from home while in Greece. We loved it and would want to come and stay here again!!!

Very nice, fresh and bright apartment with fantastic sea view from the tree living spaces. You can swim just in front of the apartment and see the sunset. Sympathetic owner. From Korinthos you can easily go to Mycenae, Epidaurus, Naphlion. We liked it very much.
