	Can U Help?	laurence geraghty (January 28, 2009)
If you want to see where it is, then take a look at this link: http://www.justzante.co.uk/zante/kalamakimap.htm As you look at the map, it is approx 1inch directly above the printed word "Vanessa". It's less than 5mins from the main road, and approx 25-30mins to a 5km stretch of sandy beach. My opinion of the Whitehouse was that it was poor, but i know that it has had a bit of a makeover since i was there. Kalamaki is very nice though and i'm sure you will enjoy the break.

Hi just got back from the White House Apartments they are basic but perfectly fine. They have a small kitchen, some cooking rings, fridge, toaster and kettle. The maid is really nice she will help you if you need anything. In Kalamaki there are some really nice restaurants i would recommend Mermaids they give nice big portions and are really cheap bout 7-10euros per meal also if you fancy a sunday dinner while you are away go to Deppys it is a must it was really nice and the lady who owns it is really nice and friendly.

The apartments are in a great location, very close to shops and all the bars and restaurants. The beach is about ten to fifteen minutes walk away. Lots of pools close by which you are welcome to use. The two brothers pool is directly across the road. You cannot bring your own food, drinks to the various pools but there are bars at every pool for you to buy drinks if you need to. The apartments are very clean and the maid cleans every day and supplies toilet roll, changes the bed linen. The apartments are very basic, in fact the most basic appartment I have ever stayed in. It is only one room, with two single beds and they squeeze a folding bed in if there are 3 of you. If you are thinking of cooking a decent meal forget it. There are two electric rings attached directly next to the sink. No oven, toaster, microwave.There is not even a worktop to put your plate on if you do attempt to cook which I did. They give you 1 pot, 1 frying pan and a couple of utensils. No ironing facilities or washing facilities either. The room is boiling hot and it is very difficult to sleep. The owner knocks on your door at 8 in the morning after arrival and asks for the money for the fan and safe. 28 Euros for the fan for 2 weeks and 20 Euros for the safe for 2 weeks. Could be the other way around. There is a small balcony also. There were ants in the room but not surprising as there is a slight gap under the door. If you just want somewhere to sleep and change then apartment will be fine for you. I would not advise you to bring kids there as there is no where for them to stretch out. No tv or not even a basic radio. It is rather cramped. There is no shower curtain (unbelievable as it is now 2007). The showers are basic and pot luck as to whether you get hot water or any water at all. The floor is always soaking after a shower . No bath mat provided. There is a church close by and you can hear the service going on quite often.

Not an ideal "holiday" location - wouldn't have been so bad had we actually asked to stay on a farm - cockerels crowing (any time), dogs barking (any time), shooting (any time that wasn't dark), so suggest some earplugs! If you want the beach, you're in for a 20 minute walk from here. No air conditioning, so it was very hot on the top floor in Aug/Sept (but fans available at extra cost). We just tried to prop front and back doors open to get through-draft when we were in. Basic but clean with regular towel/sheet changes

We stayed in the White House in June, with 2 teenage girls, and can relate to most to the 'average' comments. The location was great, and we where not disturbed by the noise, but the apartments are basic, with the shower and toilets been the major problems. They are disgusting when blocked and I do not like paddling around the apartment after a shower. The owner was, as described, very rude and takes the tips left for the maid,which is annoying as she worked very hard for them. To get around this we tipped the maid directly. We had a good time, and would return to the resort, but not the apartments.

Well, when I stayed it was basic but fine. I really hope I do not ever have to stay in the hotel after the yobs that posted below. Seriously if you have no respect for other people belongings or property stay at home or in a flipping tent!

The noise did not bother me, mind you living in London it probably seemed very peaceful!! It is basic but then ours to was a last minute deal. Thankfully I don't appear to have stayed here at the same times as those posting below.

I also went early July so this may have helped with the noise issue, location wise I found it very convienient for most ammentites.

Asked for an upstairs room, got a pigeon loft on the roof. Owner did her best to sell us a fan that should have been included in that heat.Toilet had to be flushed with a bowl and was only repaired after I slipped in the flood and injured my back and showed the owner my doctors bill for treatment and injections. How anyone can say that the area was quiet is beyond me, from day one we were kept awake throughout the night by seven large dogs surrounding the building the worst being at the rear. Yiannis bike hire at the rear was asked to quieten his dog by the rep and next night put it up on the roof for greater volume. These animals were joined for the chorus by the 12-15 cockerels in the surrounding properties which crowed night and day. Our only sleep time was at a quiet pool bar near the beach for one or two hours per day. This is a residential area and the small amount of airport noise is nothing compared to the local animal population.We were not the only ones complaining, couldn't get a move so I paid for early flights home.

Just returned from a week at the White House Apartments . If you have already booked your holiday don`t worry it will be fine , if not i would advice looking around for somewhere else. We had a small studio with 2 single beds and a camp bed . WE had actually booked an 2 bed roomed aparment , but we were told after we`d paid that we where getting a sudio.
Although you expect basic accomodation in Greece this was more basic than expected. The room had foot prints on the walls! and non of the drawers opened and the knobs were hanging off in the kichen area . the balcony light didnt work . On the last day the curtain rail fell off and hit my son on the hand . This said we did enjoy our Holiday ,but we did`nt cook the whole time and only used the fridge in the kichen area . The apartments have pool use at the Two Brothers which is ok , we tended to take a short walk to one of the larger hotels on the front . If you are travelling with small children you need to specify a ground floor apartment as i saw people struggling with buggys up the steps . Overall just having a moan about the little things , like i said you expect basic in Greece but dispite that we enjoyed ourselves

As with the previous review- i agreee with the "youcant expect Chamagne on beer prices" Our stay at the apparments was ok as it only served as somewere to get shut eye. When the coach dropped us off there the owner came out as was all smiles and chatting to the rep - but as soon as the caoch and rep went it was a different story! She showed us to our room and once inside she abruptly said "you want fan - 14 euros now" then off she trott without a thankyou or have a nioce stay etc. Obviously her english was limited - but come on!!! She could not even manage a "hello" back - after a few days we gave up and just ignored her. In fairness we were 2 30 something blokes - so she may have thought we were "brits on the piss". The appartment itself is fine - although a shower would be good rather than sommat you have fixed to your bath taps! Sheets and towels are changed once a week which is a bit poor - but having spoken to one of the other guests if you tell the lady you want cleen towles everyday - she will do it. All have balconies - which was fab - sat there at 1am in the morning listening to the peace and quite sipping a vodka and chatting about the day - love it!

Hi I stayed here with my boyfriend in June and I found the location of these partments fine. The walk to the beach is about 10-15mins but you do pass all the bars and shops along the way so if you get hot or whatever you can always stop, we used to break it up by stopping for breakfast most mornings. It is set back from the main road so it's quiet at night and to get to all the resturants and bars takes about 5 mins. The apartments are basic but we didn't pay much for the holiday so we weren't complaining. It's a good base to shower, get ready and sleep! and we did not see an insect in there all week!!!!!!
