This was the worst Airbnb experience I have ever had, because the following reasons:
1) The studio is actually a hotel room sold as an Airbnb listing. This is not clear in the listing.
2) The check-in experience was off. Vasilios explained via a message that we could drop down our luggage at any time. However, that was not true because the luggage drop-off was opening at 10 am, while we arrived there at 8 am, believing that we could just leave the luggage. The staff we encountered at that time was not able to speak English.
3) The pictures are quite inaccurate and misrepresentative. The place is in a more deteriorated state compared to the pictures. Moreover, some pictures showcase facilities from neighboring hotels without explaining what actually belongs to this accommodation.
4) The toilette was leaking water from the bottom of the bowl.
5) The running water was extremely salty with a bad smell of seawater. Apparently, it is typical of the area. However, in my next accommodations, this problem was not so significant.
6) There was a power cut affecting certain areas of the island and some rooms in the hotel we were staying at. The power cut lasted for more than 12 hours overnight, while the external temperature was in the high 30 degrees Celsius. Sleeping in that heat was a nightmare.
7) Vasilios was very rude and not accommodating with the power cut issue. I totally understand that it was out of his control, however a "It's not my fault" does not make it for me as a guest of this accommodation. He refused to issue a refund on that basis. However, Airbnb helped me to get the money back.
8) The value for money of this accommodation is very off. Santorini is an expensive place to go to, but we found much better accommodations after we have left Vasilios', for a better rate and higher standards.
9) The only highlight in that place was Cynthia, who was kind and calm, and ready to help. On top of that, the location is really nice since it's close to the beach.
