We stayed two nights in Aris's place in Fira in May of 2017. The place is very clean and well appointed. It is a traditional "cave-style" full house, with one window in front and one in top for natural light. You enter the house into the bedroom, and there is a small kitchen and a large bathroom in the back. Everything is clean and nice. There is a small courtyard in front, which will be nicer when the garden is done (it looks like they are working on that). The house is in a quiet residential neighborhood between the main street where the busses arrive and the main square. You get peace and quiet while still having access to the hustle and bustle of Fira -- everything is no more than 2 or 3 minutes walking away. Alex had arranged a taxi to pick us up at the ferry for 18 Euro and was there to show us around when we arrived. One very minor nitpick is that the cleaning staff already showed up at 11am while the official checkout was noon.
