> Let me first urge prospective guests to read through all reviews that I have been sent from people all over the world - I hope everyone will judge for themselves if Jordan's version of events tallies with how I always welcome guests to our house.

> Jordan - you and your friends have messed up my property, you lied and brought additional people to stay (above the maximum number that you agreed to), you kept playing music loudly and shouting throughout the night (causing our neighbours to complain repeatedly), and now you leave a negative review full of falsehoods. The only shocker here is the nerve that you and your friends have.

> As you know well, I only visited the house to discuss our neighbours complaints regarding the noise you were making throughout the night. Even from the balcony, it was obvious that you had turned the place upside down - all the white pillows from the outside sofas were thrown on the ground, with dirty boot-stamps on. I ended up having to throw away many of them as they proved impossible to clean fully.

> When you opened the door to me and I saw the inside of the house, I was shocked. I truly could not imagine how or why anyone would do that. Dirty glasses and dishes everywhere, wet towels and bedsheets on the ground, bootstamps on the sofas and beds. And as you admitted, a total of 8 people occupying the place, above the maximum number of 7 that you had agreed to in our short term contract.

> You claim that "during a rental the house is yours" - this is not true. You can enjoy it alone and in peace and you can do whatever you please - as long as you don't vandalise it and as long as you behave like civilised human beings. You have failed on both counts, so to complain on top of that takes a lot of nerve. I regret allowing you into my property, and I also regret not asking you to leave straight away when I saw what you did.

Hi Casey,

I would like to thank you for your very kind words about me. I would also like to take this opportunity to clarify some points you made regarding your stay.

The house and its location are described in detail and shown in maps, both in this listing and in the written directions I give to all guests prior to their arrival. The house is within a complex of ten other villas, it is barely 3 minutes away from a large & well known super market, and the road leading to it is full of more villas. I don't think it can be characterized as secluded or hard to find. As for your taxi driver getting lost, are you sure he/she was given the right instructions? Mykonos is a small island and taxi drivers here know how to get around well.

You mention that the pool was cold when you came in May, but let me point out that unfortunately May temperatures do not always favour pool swimming in Greece.

Concerning decoration, the house is photographed in every detail and its decoration and dimensions are depicted in every way in this listing.

It is true that the indoor living room is not very big, but as this is a summer holiday house, people eat, relax and spend most of the day outside in the very spacious veranda (where the larger dinner table is located), as well as the big garden and the large swimming pool. I believe that these very spacious areas (all overlooking the sea) more than compensate for the smaller living room.

Regarding the bedding, I would have gladly used special washing powder for very sensitive skins, if you had mentioned your particular skin sensitivities at any point prior or during your stay.

Thank you and best wishes!

Catherine
