My stay was excellent and very enjoyable. The place is gorgeous. You (the guest) have the whole upper floor, which is an apartment and a huge terrace/patio. The view is absolutely magnificent. The place is located in a little village away from Chora (the center of Astypalaia), but you can have essentially everything you want: beautiful beaches within a half hour distance, a market with most of what you will need, four (!) restaurants/tavernas, and even a very reliable and very frequent bus that takes you to other places/beaches, and of course the Chora. The apartment itself was spacious enough (especially for one person), with a rudimentary kitchen -- keep in mind that the fridge is tiny and there is no over, so no substantial cooking. Another thing to keep in mind is that there is no AC and no fan. Despite that I slept quite comfortably in the hot nights because it is quite windy, but someone who cannot tolerate heat very well might profit from a fan. Daniela very generously allowed me to do some laundry in the premises, and overall she was very helpful and nice (she picked me up from the port and drove me to the airport, for free). The value of the place is also great for what you get. Two minor things to note (which I did not care about personally, but other guests might care to know) are: first, that there was no shampoo and body wash, but there was one soap. I didn't ask for any though, throughout my stay, and I am sure that Daniela would have provided some if I had asked; second, Daniela is Italian, and her English is very good, but not fully fluent -- despite that I don't think we had any real communication problems whatsoever. Overall, this was an excellent stay, and I will very likely be back next summer!
