Nikos and his father are great hosts. All my interactions with Nikos were totally positive. He helped us out by changing our start date because of a ferry strike, handled a problem with a tour, and otherwise gave really good advice for making the most of staying in Naxos. The location of the studios is ideal because it is close to the beach, biggest supermarket on the island, the outdoor movie theater, and the amazing Naxos Grill. The pool side and landscaping is pleasant. It allows for a very relaxed and relatively non-touristic experience away from the touristic port side, which is not a very long walk away. We also appreciated the quiet of the place. The daily cleaning was thorough. Combined with free pick-up and drop-off and a very reasonable rate, it made for a great and very relaxed vacation. We appreciated that everything in the kitchen was clean but thought maybe it was time for a bit of upgrade on the kitchenware and installation of a microwave. The wifi was solid and as I needed to do a few business calls on Skype, so that was really useful. After spending a week in Naxos and walking around, I am certain that the Icarus is a great choice and I would certainly stay there again.
