I stayed for two nights in Hara's House Studio 5 on a last minute trip to the Greek Isles with my mother. Communication from Anna was fast and helpful since we did not have a lot of time to research things to do, how to get from here to there. We were provided with a list of our local contact (Stamos), transportation, where to eat and things to do. So helpful and took a lot of the guess work out of arriving in Santorini.

The unit itself- you cannot beat the view! I love the arrangement of this studio which has an unobstructed view and direct access to the pool (which was a pro for us, maybe a con if you don't want children or other guests splashing near you). Everything was clean and well cared for. The bathroom and kitchen were very basic and could use some updating (maybe a new shower stall, fixtures, cabinets, matching sets of plates/cups/etc) but I spent so little time inside that it did not overly detract from what is a pretty amazing little property. It is very quiet and peaceful at night.

Notes for future guests: as mentioned in the listing, this is not a unit for mobility impaired guests and probably not one for very young mobile children (i.e. under 5 years); it is a fairly steep 60 step climb with uneven sloped steps, limited hand railings, etc. Cruise ships start arriving early-ish so there is some noise when they disembark, etc. It can be very windy so caution when leaving anything on the balcony (i.e. laundry, hats, sunglasses).

Stamos was a wonderful host, very helpful, especially with my mother who was not overly thrilled with the walk up and down(!) He helped arrange our transportation and fix our umbrella when the wind blew it over.

There is a small grocery store and car rental at the top of the steps which is very convenient. Two great restaurants as well Aegean and La Maison so you do not have to travel very far from the room. Fira is a 20 minute easy walk/jog. The recommended activity list was fantastic- definitely visit Oia for the sunset and fish at Ammoudi Bay, we drove to Akrotiri and visited Perissa beach for a fantastic swim.
