Marilena’s place was fantastic! You are very well-located, the studio has a very comfortable and big bed, and a nice little kitchenette with some essentials including a Nespresso machine. The bathroom is clean and has a standing shower. We had towels and an extra blanket for the bed. It can get a little chilly at night and there is no heater, so having another blanket was nice. The apartment is near everything and you can walk to the main areas you would want to go to.
Marilena was an amazing host! First, she scheduled a transfer for us from the airport to the Airbnb, and it was very, very convenient and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this because public transport is not too consistent on the island. Because of the Easter holiday weekend, Marilena left us some traditional Easter cookies, which was such a sweet extra touch. They were also really good! Marilena runs different Airbnbs with her brother (who picked us up for the transport) and their grandparents, who have lived there for their entire lives, are still nearby and so friendly! It’s so nice that they are a family business.
Marilena was also so open and sweet. She has a wealth of knowledge on where to go, what to do, and how to get there. I can’t even count how many times I messaged her asking for advice and she always responded quickly and with tons of ideas. On numerous occasions, we took her advice and loved every bit of it.
Having come to Mykonos in April was also an excellent idea. The weather was warm, but not too hot, and there were not too many tourists. I highly recommend coming during this time of year.
Was a wonderful experience. I would definitely stay with Marilena again!
