We stayed at Envision Studio in August and had a wonderful experience. The room is just big enough for two people, has air conditioning, and is in the perfect location (Firastefani). The location was ideal because it is directly in the middle of Santorini allowing for easy access to the villages of Oia (higher-end) and Fira (cruise ship shopping zone and nightlife). Upon arrival, our host sent a friend up the stairs to handle our luggage. We had massive bags after traveling for six weeks so the help was greatly appreciated. We arrived late but there were tons of restaurants just up the stairs from the apartment (our favorite was Ginger, a sushi place).

The only small hiccup during our trip was that the instructions for pickup to the airport upon departure were not very clear from our host. We left at 5:45AM and thought a taxi was coming for us, but it turned out it was a large charter bus - likely a miscommunication and everything turned out okay in the end.
