This is a great apartment but it's biggest strength could also be a problem for some. The apartment is right near the center of town (Fira) which is great for convenience to shops, sights, restaurants, and public transportation. Unfortunately, it is also close to some bars that are fairly noisy well into the night. On all three nights of our stay we were woken up but thumping bass at 3am. We talked to our host and she said it was from the bars up the street. It wasn't so loud that we couldn't get back to sleep after awhile but it did wake us up. If you want to be close to the action and nightlife you can't beat this place. However, if you want something a little more quiet and secluded you should look elsewhere. Everything else was fantastic and our hostess was very helpful with everything.
