I booked Tania’s Airbnb for my stay in Thera, Santorini for 3 nights.
The good:
The stay was comfortable and the Airbnb was equipped with the basics like shower gel, toiletries, towels and even beach towels. The entire place was spacious and the loft area with the bed is designed well and accessible via a staircase. There were two searing areas downstairs with plenty of space. There were two mini fridges as well as a stove, no microwave that I could find but we didn’t need it. The bathroom was a good size too and had a cave-like feel to it as well. Housekeeping came to clean the place daily and Anna was wonderful to deal with, as she is very thoughtful. There is free street parking available right outside. Also, Tania (the contact on Airbnb) is great as well and very responsive as a manager.
The neutral:
The shower was designed in a way that water would splatter outside the shower, though it’s part of the aesthetic. The bed was large but could be a little firm for those used to plush tops. You’ll definitely need to have a car if you plan on staying in this area since it’s a ride from the different places you’d want to see. Now, I recommend renting a car if you’re staying in Santorini regardless as there is a lot to explore on the island, with plenty of free parking and expensive taxis.
The bad.
The only thing that was disappointing was our check-in. Now I understand that if you come later than expected it can be inconvenient for the host. However, sometimes things happen that are out of your control. Our flight was delayed by an hour and we informed them from the airport about the delay. We were asked to go to a restaurant, Roza’s Tavern, to meet the owner so he could help us check-in (which is completely fine). However, the owner’s attitude was not very welcoming and he asked us to wait for him outside his restaurant in the car while he found the time to lead us to the Airbnb. It seemed like checking us in was an inconvenience for him. One would not expect such welcome after taking a super long flight from Los Angeles to Santorini. It was a stark contrast to the amazing hospitality at the restaurants, hotels, Airbnbs’s and attractions we experienced in the rest of Greece.
