    Very beautiful stone houses and cool inside. The house has everything you need — washing machine, kitchen, etc. — and it was also clean. Nikos is a very kind and hospitable person. If you want to experience Santorini in a stone house and see what Greek hospitality really means, I highly recommend it.

    The only thing I didn't like was the bathroom, as the shower when it was open fills everything with water and a lot of moisture builds up in the house. The beds and pillows are budget, a bit uncomfortable.

    What I liked most was the owner, as he explained everything to us and was always super attentive. The house is lovely, and a giant terrace.

    Nothing was amazing

    Our property was great was a lovely cave apartment type room had everything we needed from a comfortable beds to a little kitchen and the owner even let us sit up the balcony to chill out on a night time. The owner of the property went above and beyond for us from starting with getting us a transfer from the airport and then to the port so we could make our ferry he was very accommodating would 100% go back in the future.

    We enjoyed our experience here - no complaints. Others may find the location a little challenging if you are unfamiliar with Santorini (this was our third time so we knew our way around somewhat). Also it is a residential area, so it can be a little loud in the mornings (not the fault of the owner - of course!). We found the noise charming because it was a slice of local life but not everyone might appreciate it.

    Very atmospheric and "cool" - literally and figuratively. It is a "cave house" - so it is somewhat underground, and their is a little kitchen and a grocery nearby. AC worked great (August is HOT but you wouldn't know it from inside). Customer service (Maria) was awesome - THANKS! Always available to assist and very sweet. Her recommendations for dinner (Pentozoali and Mike's Souvlaki) were spot on and she helped us navigate the bus system (not easy!). Room was super clean, shower worked great, beds were comfortable. It is a great location if you are transiting through Santorini, because it is close to the airport (ten minute drive) and to the port (the bus to the port stops in Messaria). We had a lovely stay and would not hesitate to stay there again.

    Location accessibility is not the best. Neighborhood is not that friendly too but that’s probably me who got unlucky and met with the few rude ones because, I also had nice encounters.

    Great sense of the details to give the customer the best experience possible. The studio we rented was very cute and cozy.
