This huge house was a great size for my family. We were a group of 8 people (6 adults and 2 children) and still had an extra bedroom to spare. The house has all the needed amenities, even a dish washer. Tons of bathrooms and a large kitchen, great for cooking home-cooked meals. The front patio area was beautiful for evening meals, and the roof-top patio has an incredible view of Oia's famous sunset. The wifi worked well, and there was hot water. The house was very child friendly, with lots of room to run around and not too many breakables.

We didn't meet the host, but we were in touch with him by email and phone. His friend met us when we arrived and walked us to the house. The house is about a 5-10 minute walk from the parking area, as it is a pedestrian community. I didn't realize the walk was so long, and on an uneven path, which was a bit difficult for my older mother and my young toddler son. But it was nice to be away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the town. The area is very safe and has a beautiful view of the sea, although it is not particularly close to the beach.

The house is a very close drive or 15 minute walk to the Oia town, which is a spectacular area to walk around, eat at wonderful restaurants and enjoy the classic Greece views of the white and blue dome churches. We did some early morning walks before the tourists came out and were blown away by the breath-taking views.

Highly recommend this house, especially if your group does not have any mobility issues (not a great walk for the elderly or very young). The host was very responsive and helpful.
