  : Very basic but perfect if you need somewhere to sleep and have a shower
  : Location was nice and central, room was nice and cool with aircon. Nothing fancy but worth the money

  : - clean- kind staff & flexible (asked them to allow early check in - 3 hours early, and they were ok)- pretty close to the Perissa beach (10 min walk)- comfortable bed- working fridge & AC- close to main street (carrefour market, bakery, coffee & eating)- clean towels- large closet
  : - small room- no shower cabin (only the shower head and a you have to shower between the sink and wc)- window positioned badly behind the bathroom door so pretty hard to use

  : There are few houses on a small unpaved alley. The room was quite small, especially the bathroom, with the shower next to the WC, and there was a sort of flood immediately after shower, so difficult to use the toilet for a short while. After flushing, there was terrible noise for long minutes, like a noisy waterfall. It must have been annoying for the neighbour. I could not help it, though. I could barely sleep with the noise. The small fridge is bit noisy, too. There are two beds, and I had to pay for both of them, even though I was alone. So I was bit unhappy with the high price, considering the modest room without view from the window or the door. There was a large oily stain on the sheet on one bed. Maybe it was clean and simply stained previously. The tap water is salty, so I cleaned my face with special cosmetics. I washed one top, and there were whitish stains on it afterwards after having washed it, so bring enough clothing items. The beach is quite far, even though I walk much. The alleys were deserted, and some people in a passing car yelled and scared me, so I gave up walking to the beach a second time. There is nothing at all to see or do in Perissa, except for the (pebbled) beach with restaurant. You can only walk to the bus stop and travel daily by bus elsewhere. Akrotiri is the nearest place, with the excavations, and a walk to the red beach, which is quite narrow and it was crowded when I got there. The location seemed good online, however I would stay somewhere in the middle of the island on a different trip, in Pyrgos or Mesaria. I chose this place because of good reviews. After mentioning the salty tap water, it seemed to be a cut in the conversation with the owner, she simply said no good English. And when I reached home late in the evening on the next day, I found the waste in the bathroom. I had expected somebody to take it out. It is forbidden to throw paper in the toilet, and the smell was unpleasant. It is better to take out the waste.
  : Apart from what I wrote above, just know that you cannot enjoy the beautiful sunset from this location. I can say nothing about the bakery the others wrote about in their reviews, because it was closed for three days. The bus stop is nearby, and you can go to other places by bus, in case you travel on a budget. For Oia, you can only go to Fira first, and then take another bus to Oia. In September 2023, the bus ticket is 1.60 euro to anywhere except for Fira. It is 2.20 euro to go to Fira. There is indeed a supermarket nearby, too. Carrefour. You get a tiny bar of soap, which would not melt at all. It feels like rubbing your body with a piece of tin. So bring soap. When I arrived, I found a small bottle of water in the fridge, which was great.

Very Good
