Due to multiple flight changes and cancellations over the past 6 months we actually had the gift of staying in both the Linko Cave House and Linko Traditional Villa hosted by Evi. It did take some extra work and communications on Evi's part to make it all work and we couldn't be more grateful. From the moment we booked our stay in November 2021 until we arrived back home this week Evi has always been the perfect host and communicator. We typically rent through Airbnb when traveling and out of the 8 that we've been fortunate to experience over the years this was by far the best one we have blessed to stay in. The best way to describe our experience is to say that if Airbnb was to host a course on how to become a host of a top notch vacation rental then they need to recruit Evi as the instructor. There are a lot of choices of places to stay in Oia so location and ambiance are a given but it's the little things that matter when making a guests stay special and Evi has that part down. Prior to our visit Evi arranged for our transportation from and back to the airport, she had a porter meet us on upon our arrival to carry our bags to the house (thank you Ardit), there were snacks, fruit and water (and a bottle of wine chilling in the refrigerator that I forgot to ask if it was left by the previous guest or was part of our welcome package but we drank it anyway) waiting for us along with easy to understand instructions on how to use all of the different amenities provided. Evi stopped by for about an hour the morning after we arrived to answer any questions we had and to offer suggestions and tips to get the most out of our time in Santorini. She helped book a fabulous 6 hour sunset catamaran cruise through Santorini Sailing Center where we met and became friends with 3 wonderful crew members and 14 other guests and were treated like royalty. The cruise included one of the best meals we had during our entire 3 1/2 week trip cooked right on board the boat. My wife was limited to minimal exploring of Oia and subsequently the food scene in town due to a fall she sustained the first day of our holiday 2 weeks earlier in Edinburgh but Evi's suggestion for the best lamb kebab gyro at Niko's Place street food near the central bus stop became my "go to place" to eat.... 3 times during our stay as a matter of fact. Delicious!!! is an understatement. Evi's place is sandwiched in-between the 5 star Andronis Luxury Suites which were also very beautiful and we learned had some of the nicest staff who along with Evi checked on my wife daily to make sure she was healing OK from her fall when ever we did venture up and down the steps and made sure we always had a constant supply of ice for her knee. Another nice touch was the daily cleaning of the villa by Christina who was always very kind. and sweet. All of our expectations were met and exceeded with this listing and the photos I was blessed to capture will bring us joyful memories the rest of our lives.
