This apartment is wonderful, you can't beat the view! If you decide to stay here understand that it is down a number of very steep steps and you must be in good shape as you have to walk up and down to everything in Oia. Great if you have good knees but not ideal for our 80 yr old mama. The deck is shared with 2 other apartments, and we enjoyed the girls next door and had fun sharing our stories. The house directly above is also a rental which is normally probably no problem. Noise was a big issue for us. however, as our upstairs neighbors had crazy loud parties. Fortunately, the owner, Andromahi, was excellent about the situation and once we told her she contacted the owners and they did settle down some. No way to control noise, of course, and she did all she could do. The cave was hot with the doors closed (to block the noise) but surely would have been cooler and lovely had we left them open as the locals said we could have. The cave house is bigger than it looks and decorated wonderfully as Andromahi has great taste. The small kitchenette was basic and great for our needs. You'll appreciated having a fridge as you need to buy lots of bottled water. Don't drink the tap water. She also left us a bottle of local wine, some local honey, jam and bread upon arrival. Really nice!! Oia has beautiful (and expensive) shops and is full of tourists but then, again, there was nothing else quite like that amazing view and sunset! We would suggest you spend a few days here and then a few days on the other side of the island if possible.
