We originally chose this place because of the reviews on the owner, Kostas, which were all very positive. The location was a little off the beaten path which helped us with costs and got us away from all the hustle and bustle. We rented an ATV which was our mode of transport and we really loved it. The apartment was built by Kostas himself and he lives close by. The unit itself is a quaint one bedroom with every single amenity you can ask for. Washer, safe, iron, dryer, tv, power converters, a phone, and extra linens. You pull up to the home with a lit up driveway to your own parking space. The extra little touches like the white wooden Windows and the artwork really make this place feel like home. It was quiet, very clean, and a real gem in the town of emporio. The city is close to several beaches, we chose Perissa beach which was lined with restaurants and cafes. The home was really nice, but what makes this a five star review is the host himself, Kostas.
Kostas is the best host we have ever had, and we travel the world using Air BnBs. He is extremely humbling, super attentive, and a perfectionist in his craft. He puts all of his heart into his business and it shows. His main objective is to make you, his guests, happy and create the best experience in Santorini. He quickly became our personal concierge, our advisor, and most importantly, our friend. Kostas reminds me of my uncle, a man who is so kind that he would take his shirt off his back to keep you warm. If there is a single reason we would come back to Santorini, it would be because of him. Thank you, Kostas, for making our trip to Santorini, truly unforgettable...
