I felt very welcomed and looked after once I got there. We had some minor communication difficulties but that got sorted out. Maria had also overbooked out her place so I was put up in the main family home - that felt a little awkward but the family was very pleasant and welcoming (thanks Anna for giving up your room).
The grounds were beautiful. It was only a ten minute walk to the bus stop - super easy and safe as I took the bus numerous times even after dark and felt safe walking back after midnight on my own. Nice quiet neighborhood close enough to Fira without the huge prices. Overall decent place.
