Maria was very communicative before our stay, and Thomas was phenomenal during our stay. We were originally supposed to come a year ago and had to cancel due to my husband getting covid, and Maria was very understanding and fully refunded us, 2 days before we were supposed to be there! We were a little hesitant at first when we booked but it is the perfect location to be in Oia but not in the middle of the huge crowds. The roof top is wonderful, beautiful views, and very private. Maria and Thomas helped book taxis and provided options for excursions. We did some of their recommendations and some of our own. All of their recommendations were great. In truth it’s more like a boutique hotel apartment style that was much to our delight. We’d recommend skipping many of restaurants with amazing views and just watching the sunset at a bar with a good view, or the rooftop. Go to the amazing restaurants in the back alleys of Oia after the sunset. We’d also recommend calling Armeni on the day you’d like to go, go for lunch so you can enjoy a swim. Armeni is a must and they’ll send a water taxi, they won’t take reservations more than a few days out (my experience and my friends). Thomas recommended Roka and Skala, both amazing! Ammoudi Bay Tavern is definitely all tourists but it’s fun and very good (be aware of the intense walk there and back, you can taxi). If you’re going during the hot months a day time sailing cruise should definitely be on your itinerary. Due to scheduling obligations we went during peak season (I’d avoid this if you can) but there are ways to avoid all the tourists by planning fun excursions. Have a wonderful time if you’re lucky enough to stay in Maria’s place!
