Maria's place was a nice cave house but as the other reviews mentioned it's a trek down to the place and back up to the main walkways. On the way down to the place you will pass the famous three blue domes. Due to this there are ALWAYS tourists hanging out taking pictures and selfies. Vasilli, the porter, helped us with our very heavy luggage. Without him I'm not sure if we could have dragged our luggage down and back up the steep stairs. Overall the place was as pictured with a gorgeous view of the Caldera. The only draw back is that the sunsets over to the right. So the view was not great from the place. You would have to walk up to the main strip and down near the Oia castle to get a really good view of the sunset. All in all the place provided what we needed for our short stay and was conveniently located to the bus/taxi terminal and main attractions in Oia.
