hi - we loved the location of the space - we loved walking down to Ammoudi Bay and all around the hill and shops etc. and of course watching the sunset from the porch. be sure to get full instructions on how to work the hot water. be sure to go up to the little market when you arrive to get some essentials like salt/pepper/paper towels/coffee/water. I would like to have had more comfortable bedding but honestly when in Oia, you don't spend much time in your apartment because you are busy out doing and seeing things - it's a perfect spot for sunset!! we had many cat and dog visitors which we named and spent time with on the porch. very friendly neighbors and the porters were amazing! overall it was a good stay at maria's place.
