Our experience was mediocre.
Pros:
1. There is water shortage on the island, thankfully there is a water tank and we were able to have a shower even though the water was cut.
2. Owner's mother was kind but we never met the owner.
3. The view from the balcony was really nice
4. It was really good that we had 2 WCs
Cons:
1. We were not satisfied with the cleaning that happened beforehand, our feet turned to black when we walked barefoot on the first day.
2. On the ground floor, it was smelling very badly (because of the cesspit?) and the 2 people that were sleeping there couldn't stay in the room pleasantly.
3. Not related to the room per se, but the path that we had to take in order to reach the port was steep and dangerous. Maybe the owners of the area should talk to the mayor and do something for that, since there are many people that are using this path.
4. I understand that it's an airbnb but I believe that, especially in the Greek islands that you need to take a ferry and you cannot leave whatever hour you want, and since the owner of the airbnb lives next door, he/she should do something regarding the luggage.
We asked the owner's mother if we can leave our luggage there until the evening so that we can enjoy the beach before the ferry arrives and the response that we got was: "I don't know, I have some things to do in the morning, Maria (the owner) wants to go to the beach, I don't know, leave it here and we'll see)". Of course, this response didn't make us feel confident/reassured and as a result we decided to reschedule our tickets to leave in the morning and we didn't enjoy our last day.
So far, all of the Greek island airbnbs that I have stayed are offering this facility (even when they don't live next door).
TIPS for the owner:
1. Do something about the cesspit
2. It's a pity that when you wash the dishes/spoons/water glasses you don't have anywhere to put them and you have to leave them next to the sink, even though it's not very clean. Maybe you should put a dish tray next to the sink.
3. We couldn't leave the windows open for a long time because there wasn't any window screen and flies/mosquitoes were coming in. As a result, we had to leave the a/c on for a couple of hours, even though we could have just left the window open.
