What can I say, this was our best Airbnb experience to date and it all started with the incredible hospitality of Kelly and Vasilis. I had been in communication for over a year with Kelly as we had postponed our trip due to Covid. They are the best hosts you could hope to have, generous, helpful, kind, and hospitable.
Now for the place. Over our 11 day stay, it become our cool and calm oasis after days spent out and about. Given the heat of the Greece summer, it is the perfect respite - but still in the middle of the action. We loved how it was situated in the Old Market, we would walk everywhere for meals and we could allow our teenage daughters to head out on their own to explore. It suited the 4 of us perfectly and having three bathrooms was such an added bonus. It was easy to park the car we rented, easy to get groceries and easy to get laundry done. In fact, everything that Kelly said was easy - was in fact very easy.
The lovely detail and touches in Kelly's beautiful renovation made it feel relaxing and peaceful. A couple of things that barely get mentioned in reviews but I think helps some people...the hairdryer is awesome. strong and good quality. My daughters and I all brought our hairdryers with a travel adapter because we have been places before where the hairdryer was ordinary and took ages to dry hair - we didn't use them once. Another thing, the air-conditioning was so good...the place was so cool when it was crazy hot outside and the shower pressure was awesome!
We travel a little differently to some people, we like to find a hub get somewhat settled and then travel from there. We have done trips the other way, where you are in a new location each couple of days, but we have learned that we like it better when we have a home base. We did things every day exploring large parts of Naxos (which is amazing) and doing day trips to close islands. It was one of the best holidays we have ever had as a family.
