#1 INCREDIBLE view. Location, location, location. FYI, if you come in August, the sun sets on the other side of the ridge and you won’t the actual sun set , but that really doesn’t matter too much as the balcony has the most amazing view of the caldera. It’s so pretty I just spent most of my time in Oia simply sitting on said balcony and enjoying the view around me. You’re toward the end of the particular path you need to go down so it’s very quiet and relaxing, away from the dense crowds of tourists up on the main streets. Do yourself a favor and skip the sunset cocktails at the expensive crowded bars and restaurants in town; buy a bottle of wine and enjoy your private oasis
#2 Theo is an amazing host. Every step of the way he was available with recommendations and his porter Sudip was super helpful carrying bags up and down the hillside. Probably the most amazing Airbnb host I’ve had anywhere.
You definitely want to book this place, just maybe don’t visit the island at all during the high season. Far too crowded and unpleasant.
