    Though we didn’t request it, we didn’t have a towel change during our 5 nights there. Don’t inow if we should’ve requested it or not, we made use of the washing machine provided anyways.

    Close to the center, actually right next to it. Verry big spaces, big bathroom with brand new and modern washing machine (with dryer), average spaced kitchem (but with a size more than enough), sofa bed verry suitable for sleeping, good wifi, all looks and feels brand new and modern.

    Very clean and comfortable stay. The host was lovely and helpful. Central location as it is near the airport and the bus terminal which takes you to all the other locations in Santorini. Lots of restaurants 5 min walk away open until late. Lots of mini marts to buy supplies. Great stay! Would highly recommend!

    This apartment is perfect! The price is cheaper than the surrounding hotels, very close to the bus station, in the center of the town, there are many supermarkets and restaurants. All the apartment facilities are the same as the pictures, very clean, The kitchen provides all the utensils for cooking ,we stayed for four days, everything was perfect! Most importantly, the landlord is very very good. I left my water bottle on the bus, he helped me contact the bus and sent the water bottle to the airport, he is a very good landlord. Please choose to trust him and his apartment!

    Great location, a few minutes walk to the city center, where we found a bunch of restaurants, shops and mini markets. The apartments are well designed and tastefully decorated, super clean with all the things we need. The AC works very well in cold weather. The host himself is very responsive, welcomed us in person and gave us a lot of useful information. And he even let us stay in one apartment for free until we leave for the airport in late afternoon. It’s a wonderful

    Very nice, modern-designed apartment with everything you need! Well-equipped kitchen and spacious bathroom with a washing machine. The location is perfect - close to the main bus stop and city center. The communication with the host was exceptional from the very beginning - Nikitas is very kind and caring! We had a small problem with a lack of electricity, and he came in just 5 minutes to check what was the issue (it turned out it was a general short power outage in the area, so nothing connected to the apartment). We highly recommend it!

    Excellent location, close to everything. Direct location on a main road for easy and safe access to what the town has to offer and at the same time quiet ( due to good soundproofing) and private. Clean, modern apartment tastefully decorated, adequate bathroom with washing machine. Nice entrance to the building. Appreciated crisp white sheets, white towels, white pillows.

    We loved everything about our stay at the Grand-Mere Calliope! First, the host (and apartment owner), Nikitas communicated with us extensively prior to our arrival at the property. He arranged a taxi to meet us at the airport and take us to the property. And he was waiting at the property when we arrived. He showed us around the apartment and sat down in the living room to just chat with us. This made us feel very special that he would take quite a bit of time to get to know us. Many snacks and a bottle of wine were provided for my wife and I as well. Second, the apartment was FANTASTIC! Nikitas recently remodeled all the apartments in his building and they turned out wonderfully! Nikitas' pride regarding his apartment is evident with the recent remodel. Top materials and craftsmanship was used in the remodel. The apartment is well laid-out and very functional. The apartment was very quiet and close to the center of Fira; just a ten minute walk to the middle of town. We will definitely stay at Nikitas' property again in the future!

    This place has exceeded our expectations. The owner personally welcomed us, showed us around and shared with us the history of the house. I was impressed with the architecture of the apartment and how much thought went into designing it. They thought about everything from a fully equipped kitchen to a washmachine/dryer. The apartment was also very spacious. It felt like we could stay there forever. The location was amazing as it was only 5min walk from the local bus station as well as to Fira centre where you will find all the shops, restaurants and amazing cliff views. We would higly recommend this place to anyone visiting Santorini and want to enjoy a comfortable stay in a home away from home.

    That we had to go leave.

    We had such an amazing time in this fabulous apartment in the heart of Fira. The location is unbeatable; you're close to the main square with tons of restaurants and shops and on the main road to explore the island. The apartment itself is gorgeous. It's brand new with everything you need, and the standard is high with a lot of attention to detail. We loved the shower! The apartment is quiet due to the soundproof windows, and the Wi-Fi is good. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the apartment is spacious. We were so happy to find this place and can 100% recommend it. You will be grateful to have chosen this apartment. A very special thanks to the lovely host and manager, Nikitas. Thank you for all your support and your warm welcome. We will come back!

    Honestly, there is nothing wrong with the apartment. It is clean, comfortable, central location. Your host is amazing. The rooms are soundproof and air-conditioned! I had no bad experience here. I strongly suggest this place to stay.

    This place is 3 minutes away from the high street in Fira Centre and 6 minutes from the bus stops. You are staying in the city centre. The apartment is spotless and comfy. The host Nikitas welcomed me at the door, checked me in and handed over the keys. During the check-in, with a map and bus timetable, he explained what to do in Santorini and how to get there! I had a local white wine and snacks as a welcome gift in the room. The apartment was renovated last year, so it is new, modern, clean and comfortable. You have a full kitchen with cutlery, a washing machine with capsules, iron and everything else you need. As a summary, don't hesitate to book this apartment. When I go back to Santorini, I will book this place again! Thank you Nikitas! I enjoyed my time there and you're a wonderful host.

    The house is in a central position in Fira, near good tavernas and restaurants. It is ideal if you move into Fira and generally if you have to move across the island. The rooms are comfortable and clean, furnished with fine and comfortable furnitures. Nikitas, the host, is the best you can meet for politeness and friendliness towards the guest. A magic place in a magic island.

    Our ever helpful host Nikitas greeted us upon arrival. He showed us around the apartment (and even demonstrated how to unfold the sofa bed). What strikes me most about his place is how brand new all the facilities are. Not only new but of high quality! From the double insulating window glass to the bathroom fixtures, all at least of 4 star quality. And I should stress this- it's a clean apartment!! That is always what I seek most in my choices. AC is very good and hot water in the shower is always plentiful.

    The flat was super super clean and new and nice, equiped with everything you need for a short-medium stay. (It looks 99% similar to what you see on the pictures). The location is perfect, right on the main street and just a few step away from the main - tourist/restaurant/shop- area of Fira. If you want to rent a car, there is also a car rental right next door with the owner being very joyful and chilled, making the whole renting process very easy. The owner of the flat, Nikitas, is very very friendly and supportive. I am very greatful that he helped us a lot during both the check-in and check-out when we arrived quite late on the first day and also left far after the standard check-out time.
