My husband and I (non-climbers) had a wonderful stay overall and loved the location and view. It was quiet and walking distance to all shops and restaurants in the main road. The cafe Sofrano was great for breakfast and you can have sunset cocktails at the Carian Hotel. We were visiting friends who summer on the island and did not spend much time in the studio aside from sleeping. We used the off-street parking spot (near the stairs) for a rental car part of the week. The shower (hot water/pressure) was inconsistent for us as we sometimes had hot water and sometimes not. It was great to have the washing machine (had to supply soap) and have two towels to use for the beach!
