Aris was amazing! He was kind, helpful, and happy to rectify any issues that came up immediately. He offered to pick us up from the airport, and was happy to help get us where we needed to be. He gets five stars!
A few things to consider before booking this Airbnb:
They provide free breakfast, which is awesome!
Be prepared to spend LOTS of money on taxis. Rides ranged from $20 to 50 each way, and there’s NOTHING within walking distance. The location isn’t very ideal. We spent hundreds of euros getting around over the three days we were there, and wished we’d gone with a place more centrally located. There is a bus stop at the bottom of the hill, but we were on a tight schedule and weren’t able to figure out the bus schedule.
If you have early morning activities, be prepared to take a cold shower. Two out of three mornings, we had no hot water. Aris came by immediately to address the problem, but unfortunately, it wasn’t corrected before we had to leave. This wasn’t ideal.
There’s a considerable, uphill walk on a cobblestone path to get to the cave. Unfortunately, cars can’t reach the home. Having to carry our luggage up after traveling almost two days was exhausting. We wished that this had been mentioned in the ad so that we could’ve made a more informed decision.
Cooking wasn’t really an option. There’s a mini fridge that doesn’t hold much (you have to drink bottled water on the island and the 12 pack we purchased took up more than 2/3 of the space) a one burner cooktop, and one large pot for you to use.
All and all, if you plan for these challenges, or have a relaxed schedule and can figure out the bus situation, you should be fine!
Thanks Aris!
