Marina, her husband, and Stefanie provide more than a well-priced, amazing house to stay in with a gorgeous view; they literally made Santorini as incredible an experience as it was for my family and I for the several days we spend there!
If/when we return to the island, it would only be to stay with them.
Marina was so kind and excited to see our 3 children. She and Stefanie were on hand to warmly greet us on arrival, even though our flight was delayed and we didn’t get in until well after midnight!
As with any international travel, there were a few hitches…but Stefanie was always available to fix them, quickly and with a positive and upbeat attitude! One example- we booked a rental car online on our own, prior to arrival; then the company failed to honor the reservation when I came for the car. I called Stefanie, she contacted the company she uses and a car arrived at the house 15 minutes later! All better!
Everything that Stefanie set up for us- transfer from airport, rental car, boat ride- was smooth and hassle free! I’m a pretty independent traveler but it’s just silly arranging things on your own that Stefanie can do quicker, easier, and often for less.
Marina and her husband live in the adjacent house and are simply wonderful people. You simultaneously have complete privacy in the house/ terrace as well as the best neighbors imaginable!! We were out, touring the island all day, but frequently saw them in the evening. Ate with them, drank with them, communicated with them (somehow, even without a common language)!
I could go on, but I’ve already gushed enough. This is the best Airbnb I’ve booked. It’s about the house, but it’s really about the hospitality. Nuff said!
