Very nice interior finishes with a spacious bathroom. The superior room also included a generously sized glass-enclosed deck with partial ocean view.

"The location is outstanding…a few blocks from the stunning views of the Caldera, a few blocks to the $2 dollar public buses to the airport and Oia, and a stone’s throw from markets/pharmacies/laundry. The best bargain on the Island. The rooms are as advertised - modern/clean - and while it’s clearly aimed at the budget traveller, it gets 5 stars from me for hitting it out of the park on value! Also, lovely staff and great black out curtains for those arriving on overnight flights"
