Overall we considered this was a good place to stay in Santorini, but we think there are a few points that ought to be taken into account. Here is our list of the positive, the negative and a few other things that should be noted.
Positive aspects:
-Bus stop is close by.
-There is a small market that is open until late right across the street.
-Black beach at walking distance, though along a narrow street with no sidewalk.
-Nice (albeit noisy) balcony. Several wide windows, which unfortunately we kept closed because of the noise.
-Decently equipped apartment and kitchen, though lacking a few minor items such as corkscrew and beer opener.
-Cleanliness was good.
Negative aspects:
-Limited WiFi with no upload speed, useful for sending emails, but wouldn't rely on it if you need to get work done.
-There is a lot of noise because the apartment is located on a busy avenue. We had to keep the shutters closed at all times, but unfortunately this barely helped solve the problem.
-Try as we might we had no luck adjusting the shower's position, which made it impossible to take a shower without spraying water all over the bathroom. The shower space was small and had no screen, just a curtain.
-Hot water was not enough for the three of us to take a shower.
Other things to note:
-Hosts were responsive enough though we think it is worth noting that Margarita does not speak English. If you have specific requests or are counting on local tips/advice you might feel a bit let down. In fairness, it should be mentioned that there is an emergency contact number for George who does speak English.
-Location is good if you aim to spend your days relaxing in Santorini's black sand beaches (Perissa and Perivolos) or if you're renting a car. If, however, your plan is to get to Santorini's iconic villages (Oia, Fira) and views (Caldera) without a car, please be aware that this will involve either a 30 euro taxi fare or a 30- to 60-minute bus ride (depending on where you're headed). The bus ride is usually fine at off-peak times, but can get pretty packed in the evening. You should also factor this in for the day of your arrival / departure as the port is far away.
