We really enjoyed our stay at Stella's place. The upstairs room had a balcony overlooking the blue-green water. The place is within walking distance from several beaches, grocery stores, and a wonderful bakery. The cleaning lady came every day. Cute local cats were free of charge :-) and friendly. Stella was very prompt in her communication.
We rented a car and explored the island (don't miss the Eggares Olive Museum). If you want to avoid dirt roads between Chora and Mikri Vigla, take the slightly longer but paved road through Vivlos and Glynado. Word to the wise: beware of hornets at the statue of Dyonisus (not worth the stings). The grocery store close to the apartment has a good map of the island for sale (it indicates which roads are paved and which ones are dirt).
