So many great things to say about Ion and his place! I’d highly suggest you stop your search and just book this place if the dates are available!
The location is fantastic, the home itself is spacious, tastefully decorated and sparkling clean! So much sunlight during the day, the beds are comfortable but what makes this place truly special, besides the amazing views from both balconies, is the hospitality!
Ion is one of the most thoughtful airbnb hosts I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so far. He made every effort to ensure we were comfortable. He helped us arrange for airport transport both ways, when we arrived he graciously spent a few minutes showing us around the house, providing helpful tips of restaurants nearby and information for the place that delivers breakfast in the mornings (in the event you want to eat in). He had bottles of water in the fridge for us, tea, coffee, etc... He even gave us a mobile phone to use locally (which we used to order breakfast) and to reach him if we had any questions.
He was prompt to respond to all of our questions and we felt very much at home since the moment we walked into the house.
There is also a sweet cleaning lady that comes every day or every other day (up to you) and she makes the beds, does the dishes, takes out any garbage and basically tidies up, etc... all included!
Another super convenient aspect of this house is that right outside the front door you will find the Fira-Oia hiking trail! We did the hike to Oía one day- it was great for pics- the landscape is so beautiful!
If on the other hand you don’t feel like walking the 2.5 to 3 hours to Oía, then the bus stop is not too far from the house and that’s like a 20 minute ride for $1.80 euro.
Overall, I highly recommend Ion’s place to anyone looking to visit Santorini!! The space and the hospitality were superb!
