Karen's house is in a fantastic location, walking distance to the Tinos town and either a walk, or short drive to a few great beaches. The house has beautiful views, from one side to the ocean and from the other over the port and small town. The house is very quiet, even the Tinos wind can't be heard when you're sleeping once you have the shutters and windows closed, a very dark and quiet night's sleep! The house was perfectly clean and the kitchen well stocked with necessities.
Karen was very helpful, offering suggestions of local tavernas and helping us with car rentals and taxi services. There wasn't much hot water at the house, we would boil a small pot so we could heat the sink to do a load of dishes and we turned the shower off between soaping up so the water wouldn't go cold after one person, it's not too bad as it's warm in Tinos but may be a problem if you're staying in winter or just love a warm shower.
Tinos island is a great place to relax, not too busy with tourists, easy to get around, friendly locals, good food, we would definitely recommend it!
