We can't imagine a better place to stay in Oia for the price!! Wow, what a great location and a clean place to stay!
The location of this place is unreal. PLUS you have a balcony that is centered between the two most iconic domes in Santorini! I didn't even realize how in the middle of it all we'd be, but at the same time you are low enough in the more residential area that you don't get the crowds walking by your place either. The location is really close to a lot of great restaurants, but mainly the views of the city. I think you'll be VERY impressed by the location and the view from the balcony. Those are the high points of this place for sure!
Also, their guy "Freedom" who helps you in to the place is available anytime for help. He helps show you how to get to the place, carried our bags, offered advice on whatever we needed, and arranged our taxi to the port. Very helpful.
Things to note/advice:
- There is A LOT of walking up and down stairs in Oia. This place is just off the main road, but it still requires you to work a bit to get to it. Not a negative, it's just kind of the way it is here.
- This place is very small, but if you are spending anytime in the room, it's on the balcony, which has an AMAZING view. Most of the time you are out and about anyways, so this isn't really that big of a deal. We did the big sunset view with the crowds one night (go early! like three hours early for a good spot!), but the rest of the nights it was so nice to just sit on the balcony and enjoy a great night with more privacy!
- The shower is incredibly small as well, but has hot water, so what more could ya want?
- Amoudi Bay was one of our favorite places, for both swimming and food! This location makes it real easy to walk down to it. I do recommend calling a taxi from a restaurant to bring you back up. That walk back up (no matter where you are staying) is super brutal.
- Wake up at sunrise if you want to experience the city with no crowds. Wow, what a difference at all the iconic places!!!
- You can trust trip advisor for a good meal, but I do recommend Sunrise at Amoundi Bay, Vineyart for a fancy meat/cheese night, Nikos Place for cheap/good gyros (wow, what a deal!!), and Passaggio & Mes Amis for breakfast (mmmm that cold coffee).
Book this place for a small, clean, and affordable place to stay, but with really amazing views and the best location!
