This was my first trip to Mykonos and Doris and her place were exactly what I needed! The location is so close to the heart of everything you don't have to go far for much. I walked everywhere. Granted this is their down season and not many stores are open in February, but it was the beautiful calm I needed. Check in with Doris was incredibly helpful. Not only did she provide me with a map of the island, but she also gave helpful suggestions of where to eat and each location was SO good.
It is important to note that there is no actual address for the location. While some may be thrown off about this, (I initially was) don't be. I was able to navigate the small, and what may seem confusing, allies with ease after a day of walking. When you step out of the apartment in the morning you're greeted with a picturesque view and know that more beauty awaits.
April through October is their busy season, and many locals shared that I should have come then, but the weather of about 60 degrees Farenheit, during the day, was exactly the reprieve I was looking for from the 30 degree NYC experience I left behind. I walked around in a light sweater and felt great but at night it felt much colder. Luckily the apartment is equipped with central air that you control, so it was warm at night when I needed it. I'm sure in the summer the heat will not be an issue because there's one unit in the living room and one in the bedroom.
The decor of the apartment in conjunction with the supplies Doris offers, makes this location a dream. Doris not only provided toiletries in case you forget yours but she also ensured I had drinking water, coffee, and tea upon arrival. There are glasses, dishes, and utensils available, not sure about pots for cooking but you'll have all you'll need even if you decide to eat at the apt. I love a clean simplistic look and what was advertised is what I received. The furniture is beautiful and there's lots of room to store your clothes. The bed is firmer than I generally like but I was able to sleep well as it was very quiet at night.
I definitely plan to visit Mykonos again and I will more than likely try to stay here or at any of Doris' other locations because the space was great and she is incredibly hospitable. Her warm welcome and gracious offer to store by bags so I could enjoy a little more Mykonos after my check out is the kind of customer service you dream about.
Thanks for making my vacation so special, Doris!
