The location is good, but that is the case with all places in Fira, as it is a small place and everything within five minutes walking distance. However, its in a quiet area.
Booked the apartment two months before, but the queries remained unanswered till an evening before. No information provided. The site says luggage drop in available at check in so had booked a convenient morning flight. Sent a message a day before giving arrival details and requested for transfer facility. Got a reply only at late at night before the departure date that luggage drop is not possible with check in only in the afternoon. Pick up could be provided in the morning but only till a luggage storage facility where we would have to keep till check in. Left us in bit of a tight spot after landing at 8am. Luckily booked a day bus tour and checked in at 9 pm.
Received by Katerina. Dirty utensils and crockery still lying in the apartment.
The AC is nice and daily cleaning facilitiy with fresh towels and linen was a nice touch. The bed is comfortable but the pillows are hard and big which gave a stiff neck till the morning.
Small kitchen counter is okay but hardly any crockery or cutlery, so there is not much that you can cook. The site advertises breakfast but a pack of croissant and butter jam were kept only for the check in. No breakfast there after.
Hot water is available, but the bathroom is below standards. The photo has a caption that they would bring in some changes but nothing seems to have been done. A review of July said that the clothes hook were broken and that still remains the case. The shower area is not nice. The shower curtain was flimsy and badly torn. The shower hook was broken. The basin was small and most of the water falls outside. Except for hand soap no other product is provided.
The apartment in the photos and the description look amazing and with its high price promises to be a great experience. On the contrary. Of the nearly 17 AirBnB apartments that I have stayed in last two years, this one just did not make the grade.
