Paola was a first class host throughout all my time in Folegandros. She picked me up from the port and got me back down there when I had to leave, and always had recommendations for beaches, tavernas, or anything else I needed. As soon as we arrived at the apartment she made me a coffee and sat down with a map of the island, pointing out recommended spots. Because she knows the island well this is really valuable info, as she can let you know which beaches are best if it's windy etc.
The room itself was perfect. Remarkably cool inside, it's done in a sort of traditional Greek style, but clearly has been done to high spec recently. The result is a discreet, authentic feeling space. I loved it - part of my reason for using Airbnb is to avoid the 'hotel' aesthetic, and this does that perfectly. And the view. It really is incredible. So quiet as well - I spent many hours there reading a book in the morning or drinking a glass of wine in the evening.
The room is in a village sort of midway along the island. If you're into waking like I am most things are fairly accessible, though the walk to the Chora is quite long. Most people will want to get a moped / quad bike etc though, and I would have done the same had I stayed any longer. Because Folegandros is a small island everything is quick to get to and it's basically impossible to get lost as there are so few roads. I've been to Milos and Santorini since, and although each island is special, if what you're looking for is deserted coves and real peace and quiet without much tourism, this is the place.
I wish I could have stayed longer, but all good things have to come to an end. If you stay at Paula's you're absolutely guaranteed a stunning uninterrupted view of the Agean and a wonderfully caring host, all on one of the most beautiful islands in the Cyclades!
