The house was very beautiful inside and out. Looks exactly like the pictures. It faces the northeast side of the island, so you do not get a sunset view over the water, but you do get a sunset view over the mountain. It was about a 20 minute walk to Oia. There is also a bus stop very close to the house that you can take to other towns on Santorini. You do have to go down some stairs to get to the house, so be ready for some exercise going up the stairs. Sophia Boutique staffs were very friendly and welcoming and helped us with directions.
