Maria was very quick to respond to messages, and her family was extremely welcoming when I arrived and during my stay. She lives in a lovely, quiet village with an amazing view - the perfect place to get away for a day or two. The room itself is basic, but comfortable and clean. It has a small kitchenette for cooking (note that there not many markets in the area), but the tavernas nearby serve good food and coffee. In short, it's a nice base for exploring the surrounding area, but not the best place to hang out during the day.
