Hey there Future guests,
first of all I have to mention that Taki is a super nice host! He showed us around, gave us some recommendations and was super flexible. The house in itself looked just as advertised. It has enough room for 5 and a beautiful outside sitting area. The terrace on the roof is also great.
Now to what was not so good. The apartment is not accessible by car. You have to drive to one point and walk the rest. This is not a problem for me but should be advertised. Since there are some stairs and steep hills to climb up. For my sister that has asthma it was difficult to get to the car everyday and I can imagine that others and especially older guests that have short breath or can’t walk much would have a problem with that as well.
The apartment was for the most part very clean. The only issue we had was that one of the sheets had buggers on it and some small brown stains, which had us wondering wether the sheets got washed or not.. also there is a lot of moisture in the walls which makes the flat pretty humid unless the a.c. is turned on. So during the night we woke up and had to turn on the a.c. and then later get up to turn it of.
Some small things that were a bit annoying are that the WiFi from time to time did not work at all and that on the terrace we found thousands of ants..
Lastly the host has no check-out time on the listing. Which makes you think that you can leave at any time you want. We were a bit stunned when he told us that we had to leave by noon because we had the entire day ahead of us before we left the island.
All of these “complaints” are easy fixes that should be made. Especially for 150€ a night we expected 100% of cleanliness and that there are no surprises when we arrived.
All in all I would say our stay was still very nice. But for the amount that you are getting charged, and in this price category there are way better options to book.. We concluded that if we would ever come back to santorini, we wouldn’t stay at Takis place again! Even though he himself was a very very nice host. But at the end of the day, he is getting paid and it is his job and therefore he has to make sure that everything is perfect upon arrival of new guests.
