We were 2 woman traveling together so the separate areas gave us plenty of privacy. There was a lot of attention to detail in the design that we appreciated - the dishware, antiques, lighting fixtures among some of the things we appreciated. Petros made it easy to get our luggage up to the property by having a taxi waiting and someone to handle the luggage in the pedestrian only area. Both the taxi driver, Kiki, and his housekeeper, Froso, added to the charm that is Astypalia. We were in touch with Kiki for other outings. Petros was easy to reach when we had questions.
Of note is that the steps to the second level are quite narrow and steep. The upstairs guest left her luggage downstairs and only took what she needed upstairs. Also, there is a restaurant under the bedroom windows that was a bit noisy one night. -not music or a bar, just a loud group of people that one night. Problem solved with earplugs.
I would highly recommend staying in this charming property.
