We stayed in this beautiful apartment for one week and loved every minute of it. People stay in Oia for the views of the caldera and the view from the private balcony here is unbelievable. I was skeptical of the reviews that said it was better than the pictures, but I can attest that pictures do not do this place justice. We ate breakfast (including the delicious fresh bread) every morning and often enjoyed dessert or an after dinner drink there as well. It says something about the location when tourists who are not staying in Oia are taking pictures right next to your apartment. We saw wedding shoots on an almost daily basis! The location is also amazing. It's literally right in the middle of Oia's main pedestrian street to the point that it's sometimes difficult to get out of the entrance, especially after sunset. People want to be here. There's a mini market with beverages directly next door and several small stores with food close by. There are also tons of good restaurants right by the apartment. We were able to try a new place each night. We especially liked Karma, Melitini, and the dessert place right by the apartment. As for the apartment's features, we were pretty much satisfied. The kitchen was small, but adequate, and we were provided tea, coffee, sugar, and the above mentioned daily fresh bread. The bedroom was straight out of a museum (in a good way) and the air conditioning was surprisingly strong. The bed was comfortable and there was little noise at night, with the exception of one night when some youngsters were pumping tunes at 3am. The high ceiling made for a wide open feel and the daily room make ups were unexpected and greatly appreciated. We hate doing dishes on vacation! The two main issues, and they were minor, we had were the Internet and the bathroom. The Internet signal was spotty and the only place we could really get strong wifi was in the kitchen. It was annoying at times and my wife frequently disappeared into the kitchen for long stretches without warning, but we made due. The bathroom was a traditional Greek island bathroom, which we realized after our visit to Crete, in which the shower is not separated from the rest of the bathroom by any sort of door or shower curtain. As a result, EVERYTHING gets wet when you shower and you quickly learn to move the toilet paper to a safer location. This arrangement would have been okay, however, the shower head was not attached to the wall, so our showers were carried out strategically (water, shampoo, rinse, body, rinse, face, rinse, etc.). This should in no way dissuade you from renting this magical apartment; just be prepared. We didn't meet Vasilis; we met his wife Gill briefly and their daughter, Emily, took care of most of the communication. That said, Emily was great and immediately responsive to all of our inquiries.
