We've stayed in dozens of Airbnbs in our travels, and this definitely stood out as one of the very best.
Here are a few highlights that made this a fantastic stay:
- The location is INCREDIBLE. It's literally right across the lovely beach of Perissa. Not only that, but there are *private* reserved sunbeds for you! You literally walk out of the flat with your swimsuit, cross the street, and there you are. We were originally planning to visit a variety of beaches, but this was so nice that we ended up swimming there every day.
- The hosts are incredibly hospitable. The night we arrived, because it was late, Akis shared his lovely home-cooked food with us so that we didn't have to resort to fast food. He also provided a ton of child gear & toys for our daughter, and a lot of advice about the island. His wife Irene booked us a taxi from the airport, facilitated our car rental, and booked a babysitter for us.
- There is daily cleaning service provided!!! So great especially when travelling with kids! It makes this listing combine the best aspects of a hotel with the best aspects of Airbnb.
- The flat itself combines old and new in just the right way, keeping the traditional architecture of Santorini, but with brand new kitchen countertops, modern bathroom fixtures etc.
- There is also a lovely shaded part of the yard with a table which is perfect for eating outdoors or drinking a coffee. You can even order from the restaurant next door and they bring it to you, we did that every day for breakfast (they do nice eggs & bacon).
We'd strongly recommend this place to anyone, and *especially* to families with small children. Can’t wait to come back!
