The place is true to its Theme - live like a local. The neighbors are kind and you do feel like you are living with the locals during your stay. Communication with Nick was very easy and fast. His place is a 5 min walk from Marissa bus station, which connects you to all major destinations. The only downside is that to go to Oia, you have to go to Fira and transfer to another bus. The Transfer is easy. It’s just that you have to pay again. Marissa is more peaceful then Fira or Oia. If you want to experience the local life and stay at a quieter place, I’d recommend Nick’s place.
