The Affoura Houses are beautiful, inside and out. The rooftop patio offers a beautiful view of the ocean, and the rooms are decorated exquisitely. The location is nice in that it is away from the tourist areas, though you'll need a rental car in order to get there. Driving, the place is maybe 20 minutes from the port, 5-10 minutes from Kamari Beach, 15 minutes from Fira. It's a nice, seemingly traditional village.
The drawback to Evelyn's place is that it is nearly impossible to find, and you are not given an exact address (understandably since there are not addresses or street names/signs in the village), nor are you provided with written directions for how to find it. Basically, you only know to head to this village and hope you get lucky. We spent two hours searching for it, and had to pay expensive international calling fees in order to call Evelyn multiple times to get help finding it. This, in my opinion, is completely inappropriate and unreasonable. There is a tiny sign off of the main road through the village, but it is only visible when traveling from one direction (notably, not the direction you'd be coming from from the port) and even when looking for it, I missed seeing it twice. Also, there is no sign outside the place itself either, so you can follow the one sign from the main road but still not know when you've arrived. On top of the painful lack of directions, no one was there to meet us when we arrived, so even after spending two hours searching (and clearly Evelyn knew we were searching for it and in the neighborhood because we had called multiple times), we had to then wait another 30 minutes for someone to let us into the house. It was the worst check-in process I've ever had through AirBnB. I *highly recommend* convincing Evelyn to provide you with written directions and coordinate a meeting time so you don't end up wasting an entire afternoon in a frustrating endeavor like we did. Once you're all set and have keys, the place is beautiful and well provisioned.
