Overall we had a good stay at Hara's Houses Studio 5. Location in Imerovigli allows easy access to most of the island. The view from the balcony is awesome, as there are no more units below. Plenty of good restaurants within walking distance with great sunset views, as Imerovigli is at the highest point on the island.

Anna was very helpful and responsive the entire time, which we appreciated. As were the porter and Stamos, the manager in Santorini.

Even though we did not spend a ton of time in the apartment itself, there were a few issues we experienced that are worth noting:

1. The lights on the stairs and on our balcony did not work when we arrived. That made it difficult at night, as there are many steps to get to the apartment. I guess a storm had caused the circuit breaker to trip, so we had to reset the fuse to get the lights back. It was a simple fix, but the communication took longer than i would have hoped.

2. The shower leaks onto the bathroom floor. The shower itself is pretty outdated and moldy as well, so that needs to be updated.

3. The Internet does not work at all, so come prepared. That makes organizing activities on the island and calling family back home a bit difficult.

4. The chairs on the balcony are dirty

5. Our electricity went out in the middle of the night. Again supposedly a mild storm caused the circuit breaker to trip.

6. The taste of the water in the bathroom really bothered us, even though we were warned in advance by Stamos. We were told it's the sulfur in the water. Though when we went to restaurants in Imerovigli, the water tasted fine, so not sure what the deal was at Hara's House.
