As a first time user of Airbnb, my experience was nothing short of flawless, and this is largely due to Maria Christina and her gorgeous parents.
I rented the villa for my 40th birthday celebration and was expecting approximately 30 guests from various parts of the world to attend. From the moment I sent my request to Maria Christina to enquire about renting the villa, right up to the night of my birthday celebration, Maria Christina was always contactable and an absolute pleasure to deal with (not to mention her dear parents who were at hand to deal with any enquiry and generously offered to help at any opportunity).
The actual villa itself is pretty and accommodated 2 couples and 8 adults comfortably. It had all the amenities one would expect of a place its size, and the bonus being the huge courtyard with sweeping views of Mykonos and a separate taverna. The taverna was the perfect place to hold the party given that Mykonos was experiencing unprecedented winds. The DJ had an area set up inside, a large wooden table sat 25 adults comfortably for a sit down dinner and a separate buffet area held the food and drinks. The setting made for an unforgettable night and for this I shall be eternally grateful.
The location of the villa was a little off the beaten track however Maria Christina and her parents were ever so helpful to offer directions and even retrieved guests who had got a little lost.
I would not hesitate to recommend the villa to any large party of friends or two families who want to spend a week away from the hustle and bustle and yet still be within driving distance to exquisite beaches, restaurants and bakeries and of course the heart of Mykonos.
A heartfelt thank you to Maria Christina for helping me at ever turn possible in preparing for the party and to her wonderful parents for being part of the night and assisting with the clean up the following day.
