Irini's house is in a quiet, safe, and peaceful location with a gorgeous view of the sea. The bedrooms and living room are spacious and the kitchen/dining area was sufficient. She provided bottled water and additional tea and coffee. The house did not need air conditioning in the summer as it is on a hill which has a cool breeze. The washing machine was a good size and the clothes dried quicky in the breeze. It is quite convenient to walk to the Monastery and the Cave of the Apocalypse and takes around 20-30 mins to walk (downhill) to Skala. There is a bus near the ferry port that will come back up to the house. It was convenient to use this location as a base to drive out to the north and south parts of the island. Irene was very helpful to pick us up from the ferry port and provided good directions for getting around to the nearby tourist sights. Definitely great value for 4 people!
