My family (two adults and two kids, 12 and 14) stayed here for two nights. It is exactly as advertised - looks just like the photos!
We wanted a small, simple spot with air conditioning in the middle of Santorini, and that’s exactly what we got. It was very clean, the tiny kitchen was stocked with all kinds of utensils and cookware, and there were linens on the beds and towels at the ready. There were also other small amenities - plenty of toilet paper, a hairdryer, iron/board, dish and hand soap, some touring/informational guides to be borrowed, etc., that were great.
The location was great, too - 3 minutes from the airport, 20 from the ferry, and a 10 minute drive to Fira/Thira, 10 minutes to the black sand beaches, 10 minutes to Oia, and about 25 minutes to the southern (red) beaches. It’s just a 5 minute walk into Messaria and easy to get around from there. Messaria had a few restaurants, a couple of ATMs, several other shops, a bakery/coffee shop, and two grocery stores. There are friendly dogs and kids in the neighborhood, which gave it a very homey feel that we appreciated. We met Demetrius next door and he was very welcoming.
Nick, our host, was fantastic. He arranged transportation for us to get from the ferry port to the house (very helpful, as the port is incredibly crowded and overwhelming) as well as transport to the airport at 5:40 in the morning. He also responded to any questions immediately (his English is excellent) and helpfully. He met us and walked us to the house, then showed us where everything is, including the bottled water he kindly provided for us (the tap water on Santorini isn’t drinkable).
When asked where we could rent quad bikes, Nick arranged that, too! They were literally waiting when we arrived (we only had to complete the paperwork) and we were able to just leave them where we picked them up (a 3 minute walk from the house) when we were finished.
This was, for us, by far the best way to get around the island. Economical, easy to use (even with our daughters as passengers), small enough to always find a place to park (critical!), no waiting for taxis or buses or having to maneuver a car, and an amazing way to see every nook and cranny of the island while enjoying the views and the breeze. Highly recommend quadding! (Note: you cannot drive a car to this house; it’s located a 3-4 minute walk uphill through very narrow side streets/alleys. There is plenty of parking, though.)
(Also note: you cannot flush any toilet paper in Santorini; used TP has to be placed in trash bins. This wasn’t a huge deal, but we were unaware prior to arriving!)
This is definitely a small space... There are 3 living areas (bedroom, living room, loft bedroom) and they all share a common “space” so to speak - from the couch, we could see almost every square inch of the house! There are also no doors inside, except to the bathroom, so we were very much together! Also, A/C cannot be left running when nobody is home - meaning you may return to a very warm house - but when it’s on, it runs very well and cools the place off quickly.
For the convenience, location, value, amenities, and the awesome attention provided by Nick, this was definitely a good choice for our short stay! We recommend it fully.
