Just returned from 2 weeks at the Nikos Apartments. we were allocated room 9, very clean, ground floor with very spacious patio. Walking to the town is not a problem as there is as very quiet back lane which is a very pleasant and safe route to both the town and the beach. We did not hire a car, but we did walk to Antisamos beach twice, and as long as you allow yourself time (about 1-1.5 hours) to enjoy the walk it is not that hard going.
