This apartment was nice but staying here definitely had its pros and cons.
Katerina, who checked us in, was so pleasant, sweet and informative! She booked us a cab from the port and helped give great recommendations in the area we were staying.
Wifi was very spotty and didn’t work most of the time.
Unfortunately, the host Maria became very overwhelming to us during our stay. She monitored and questioned us for various things. One example was that she asked us to be conservative with the air conditioning and turn it off because we had it running too much, which is frustrating when you’re paying so much per night. And we were trying to be conservative, but on very hot days we would leave one AC on because there was always someone inside the apartment, and she was upset with us and told us to leave the windows open which we felt was unsafe to do if we weren’t home, and it was too hot to just leave windows open if someone was home.
It felt like every day when we walked out of the apartment we were being questioned about something.
The host cooked us food on various days during our stay which was delicious and kind of her, but she would enter the apartment to drop it off without us being there and we felt like it was a violation of our privacy. We were expecting her to check if we were home, not enter as she wished.
One day, the hosts got into an argument with the neighbors and it was very unpleasant to hear them fighting right outside our door.
As we checked out, the hosts didn’t even give us a proper goodbye and that left a very bad impression on us.
Overall the apartment was beautiful, roomy, clean. It is in a very good location, about a 10 minute walk from the beach and restaurants, close to a supermarket, and close to bus stops that take you to Thira. The walk is uphill when you come back from the beach which can be a little tough. The apartment has towels, beach towels, beach umbrellas, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel, however there was no body lotion or common toiletries. Kitchen had everything you might need to cook.
We had a lovely time in Santorini and spent most of our time outside the apartment anyway but not sure if we would come back here unless we were guaranteed to have a more peaceful stay and we were left alone. The host didn’t give us the space we would’ve liked to enjoy our vacation. Wish we could’ve just kept communication with Katerina.
