The location of this place is excellent, but the bed left a lot to be desired and the power and water went out for most of a day during our stay.
Pros:
- The location is amazing - right on the water in Firopotamos, you can hear the waves crash outside and walk down to the beach
- The hot water is abundant and the shower pressure is great. (However, it's handheld only - it would really be improved with a little wall bracket from a hardware store so you don't have to hold it while you shampoo/etc)
- The host was fairly available (~1hr response time) to questions, and provided us with an extra blanket when we asked for one and helped find the owner when the water went out.
Cons:
- The bed is very uncomfortable - felt like sleeping on a box spring. We ended up taking the couch cushions and putting them on the bed to make it bearable. It also came with just a sheet and thin blanket - not cozy at all.
- The power went out one morning - this wasn't their fault, I understand it happens on Milos sometimes. But when it came back on the water still didn't work. The person managing the Airbnb didn't know how to fix it, so he had to find the owner, but that took 5 hours, and we couldn't wash our hands or use the toilet.
- The paper on the wall with the information (contact/wifi/etc) said that housekeeping would come after the third night, between 10 and 17:30. By 17:30 no one had arrived, so I messaged to ask for fresh towels and sheets. The host sent the cleaning lady, and when we came back from dinner there were fresh shower towels, but not fresh sheets nor beach towels.
To note:
- There is no breakfast provided - other reviews mentioned this, though the description didn't, but there was no breakfast during our stay.
Overall I think this place has a lot of promise - replacing the mattress and making sure there's enough bedding/pillows and more towels so that we don't have to rely on housekeeping to come replace them would have gone a long way. I feel bad leaving a poor review, since Dimitrios did really try to be helpful, but I want other potential guests to be prepared.
