The house was perfect for us. It was right in the middle of central Fira. The location however, did not present any type of noise issues. The host can accommodate a large double bed or two single beds. We stayed for 6 nights. After 3 nights a cleaning and towel change out was done. The host also provided 2 large beach towels. This worked out well for us. You just need to reuse the towels for 3 days before a change over is done.
We never met Aris, only his mother. She was very nice, very gracious. She met us on the main strip and walked us to the house. A better meeting place to meet the host or to arrange any type of transportation pick up is at the Central Clinic. This is very close to the residence and very well known.
Aris was good at communicating with us via the Airbnb site. On our final day, he arranged a driver to pick us up at a designated time, at the Central Clinic, and take us to the airport. It costed us 20 euros, which is the same fee a taxi would cost.
This was our first experience with the Airbnb. It worked out great for us and would stay there again.
