Considering staying here? This is everything you need to know:
1. Ignore any review complaining about having to walk down stairs to get to the airbnb, all of Santorini is on a cliff this air bnb is no more "difficult" to get to than any other property.
Pros:
1. Very close to the city center
2. Authentic cave house
3. Outdoor patio area to eat / relax with stunning views (only fits two people)
4. We got to Oia around 9am and Rena was gracious enough to allow us to check in early that day. She also arranged our transportation for us to Oia from Thira and had her porter meet us at the driver. It would have been so difficult to find the place without someone showing us the way! (there are no street signs in oia).
5. Host is incredibly responsive via air bnb messenger.
6. There is air conditioning !! Cannot stress how rare this is and there is ac in both bedrooms and the kitchen.
Cons:
1. The wifi only works in the kitchen and it is slow.
2. the table and chairs inside the house was a child's set of table and chairs so we could not use them. Very bizarre.
3. The shower really does not work well.
4. Make sure you have the host show you how to lock the front door because it is incredibly complicated.
Overall:
As you can see there are by far more positives than negatives. I do not think you can beat this location.
