Maria was a responsive and reliable host. She also helped to arrange the airport transfer and porter service for us even though we didn't get to meet her during our stay.

Our porter was called Vasilius who welcomed us and gave us a quick orientation of the neighbourhood while walking to our accommodation. He seems to know everyone in the community. We felt safe and well taken care of.

The studio's balcony was really small but it has a lovely view of nature as well as the beautiful houses of Oia. While there was no direct view of the sunset, we could see the sun setting behind the castle from our balcony. We like the cave-like interior of the studio. Space was clean, simple and cosy for two Asian ladies. Its mini kitchen was well equipped for general cooking.

We noticed that there were small groups of tourists (who were not staying at the neighbourhood) coming around and taking pictures at different timings. Some of them were rather loud and intrusive. This may not be suitable for people who prefer privacy.

As this was our temporary stay, we could bear with it. We stayed for a night before moving to a much bigger and private cave house the next day.

During our check-out, we were greeted by Vasilius again. He was really helpful and carried our bags and luggage all the way to the meeting place of our next accommodation. We didn't expect him to go an extra mile and he didn't expect anything in return. But we tipped him well for his great service. He deserved the tip. :)

All in all, it was an enjoyable experience!
