Philippe's place is very well located next to a beautiful beach, a short walk from the town and has a lovely outside area for sitting outside and relaxing. The wifi is very fast and the bbq outside is great, although the oven is not so good.
Unfortunately the water stopped working on the second day of our stay however Philippe did manage to fix this within a day and he was easy to contact when the problem occurred. It must also be noted that if you are a large group there is unlikely to be enough hot water for more than a few showers.
In addition, the cleaner did not come round as agreed half way through our stay making the 160 euro cleaning fee seem quite unreasonable, and there was not enough bedding for the 10 of us as requested. You must also note that two of the beds are outside the house and Ios is quite a windy island so do not expect these beds to be comfortable outside of peak summer.
Despite this we still had a great stay at Philippe's house and although it may not be the most luxurious if you are willing to put up with the quirks it is still a nice place to stay which is very well situated.
