Nick, our host, was a huge help. He gave a detailed overview of the place, set up transfers to our events/sites when we could not use a rental car, pointed us in the right direction for covid testing (required for entry into the US), and accommodated our request for extra bed sheets. Spectacular host!
The place itself is a great find. It is HUGE and in great condition. Tons of space both outdoors and indoors. Indoors, the communal area is much larger than it appears in photos. The loft is more than big enough to stand in at 6'2,'' although you will need to watch your head as you approach the curving sides in the loft area. The loft area has plenty of space to move about. There is a separate AC unit in the main bedroom in addition to the one for the communal space. This is more than sufficient to cool the space. There is an extra room with two couches--could double as beds-- and a closet. This space works as an ideal changing area for those staying in the loft as they do have less privacy. Privacy in the loft was not major concern for us (two couples) because of this. The bathroom is large and included many soaps/shampoos. There were plenty of towels. The kitchen met all our needs.
Outdoors, the rooftop terrace is huge. You can see both the caldera and the east coast. There are two viewing areas—one on each side—for this purpose. The view is incredible. Nothing is lacking from it. I preferred the view here over the views in Oia, Fira, and near Akrotiri. The dining area on the rooftop is a great touch. The rooftop terrace has a gated entrance to a walking path that runs to Fira in one direction and through Imerovigli in the other. Very convenient. There is also an outdoor dining area on the ground level. The rooftop terrace is about as private as one can get with a caldera view on Santorini. Don't have to worry about neighbors above and below you as there are none.
Imerovigli was a great choice of location. Less touristy and crowded than Fira and Oia so you can really enjoy sunsets without 100 other people detracting from the experience. That’s rare for a caldera view in my experience. Imerovigli is just as pretty and cool to explore as any of the towns on the island. Walking to Fira was no problem. 15-20min. There are a few small grocery stores within 5min walking distance that can provide food for breakfast as well as water, booze, coffee and snacks. Super convenient. There is also plenty of private parking outside the unit which is great for an island town. You do not have to worry about carrying luggage up and down stairs or through small roads to get to your airbnb.
Can't emphasize the value of this place enough! There are so many more positive things I could say. You will not regret choosing this space!
