We loved our stay in Ios. The location is great, a short and easy walk from Mylopotas Beach. We also used the bus to get to the port whenever we needed that. We visited Ios in mid-April, shortly before the peak tourist season begins. Because of that, there weren't many people around the island in general and there was less public transit available. Also, it was still a bit cold in April and our room didn't have a heater, so that might be something to keep in mind if you are traveling with anyone who might be affected by colder temperatures. However, Tracey was a wonderful and very accommodating host. She picked us up from the port and dropped us off there as well. When we asked about the room temperature, she made sure to drop off extra blankets for our room. She was very helpful, our communications were all quick, and I would recommend staying at her place to anyone.
