“Very good value for money”
The cave house was cozy and comfortable, though it can get warm and stuffy; a dehumidifier helps. The bathroom is a piece of work! The place is 20‑30 minutes on foot from Fira or 5‑10 minutes by car.

The apartment’s design is lovely, located beyond the tourist bustle yet still convenient for trips around the island; renting a car is highly recommended. There were slight mold spots in the bathroom, probably due to poor ventilation in the cave, and the fan didn’t really help. The furniture on the terrace isn’t very comfortable or padded, which is a shame because the terrace otherwise invites you to relax.

Nothing! Completely devastated. The place is completely different from the photos on Booking, it’s dirty and smells like mold. The dehumidifier only turns on when you arrive, so the mold smell stays. The drawers are all dirty, the bathroom walls are full of toothpaste splashes and other questionable stains. The shower is completely moldy. The location is impossible to find at night and doesn’t match the point shown on Booking. We were there to celebrate our wedding, the bride was supposed to be there with a photo shoot on the day of the preparation, but we left after the first night. The owner refused to refund us! The only good thing was the adorable kittens.

The interior is beautiful and the bed is very comfortable, but the place is nowhere near convenient. Parking is only available if the second property has no car and you don’t arrive early—you definitely need a car. There are no windows, and a de‑humidifier stopped working mid‑night, making it hard to breathe. We opened the door and cats would come in. In the end we turned on both fans but woke up feeling very sick. The bathroom door is broken—others have reported this too—and it’s very dangerous because you could get stuck. We stayed one night and received a message reminding us to check out before we even checked in. I asked about it and they said it’s automated. It’s still weird and others seem to report it too. Overall, I would not recommend this place; just pay a bit extra and stay somewhere conveniently located.

I stayed at Close the Chora, which offered private parking and a modern house packed with everything needed – definitely coming back.
