Absolutely perfect location for a visit to Santorini! We wanted an unimpeded view of the caldera without sacrificing privacy, and the Soundscape unit was ideal. There are two other rental units below, but Soundscape sits above the quaint courtyard and offers a private terrace with a table and a variety of seating. With no one directly above or beside our cave house, the only noise that woke us in the morning was the birds.

We lingered over the incredible Santorini sunset from the terrace on four nights, and the sunset photos on the listing don't do it justice.

In terms of interior, the bed is comfortable and the kitchen is well-appointed enough to get you through a week's stay. With a limited boiler capacity, you won't linger long in the shower, but there's enough hot water to get the job done. The unit is cleaned daily. As mentioned in other reviews, the only complaint is rather thin towels. The view from the bathroom is spectacular, incidentally.

Soundscape truly is in the perfect location. There are plenty of restaurants and services directly above you in Firostefani if you want to stay close, and Fira is less than ten minutes away by foot if you want greater variety or semblance of nightlife. The cruise ship hordes descend on Fira and Oia at different times of the day and it was great to retreat home to escape them. Taxis will drop off and pick up the parking lot directly up the stairs, and there's a bus stop at that same lot if you plan to use public transit.

Elvira stocked the fridge with wine, water and juice for us, and she provided a great list of restaurant recommendations. Her mother met us upon arrival and Elvira stopped in later that evening to greet us and provide some other advice.

One final word of caution, and that's to pack light. It's 75 steps down from the upper walkway, then another 25 or so back up the stairs to the front door of Soundscape. The lighter the luggage, the easier the trip.
