My partner and I stayed in Ios for 3 nights in mid October. The location of the studio was excellent! It was barely a 10 minute walk to get to either the Chora or Mylopotas Beach! My partner and I rented a car while we were there and were able to park at the property with no issues! Sinead (Bob’s niece) was also very accommodating and hospitable as she gave us recommendations of what to do and helped us out with any additional questions we had! Sinead arranged a taxi pick up for us when we arrived by ferry which was a big help. She was also able to provide a fan for us upon request which was very nice. The overall experience with the location and host was excellent! If you’re looking for a stay that is more ‘cottage like’ I would suggest staying here as it is quite rustic and quaint. My only suggestion is if you aren’t a big fan of critters (spiders, lizards, moths, etc) maybe consider elsewhere as we had two lizards and some other small bugs get in from a gap in the front door. The bathroom ceiling is also quite low for anyone who is 5’8 or above!
