PROS: John is truly an exceptional host (5+ stars). Not only is he super responsive when messaged but he was able to act as somewhat of a tour guide around Santorini, booking rental cars, and excursions for us. He provided great suggestions and is clearly very knowledgeable about the area. I also appreciated that the housekeeper came by everyday and was willing to change our sheets and towels in the middle of a 5 night stay.

CONS: The unit itself wasn't quite up to our expectations (though the pictures represent it accurately). The size is good but it's definitely not luxurious. Taking a shower in the bathroom was a challenge since there was no shower curtain. We found ourselves having to remove the head from its fixture in order to avoid spraying water everywhere. You are secluded in terms of being at the edge of the caldera but you might have to share the patio/hot tub with neighbors at the adjacent unit. If we were going back to Oia we'd stay at a place with a pool because it's too hot to want to use a hot tub except in the late evening. The view is good but not amazing versus being on the other side of the caldera.

We debated between a 4 versus 5 star rating but ultimately we felt this Airbnb was overpriced (even compared to hotels in Oia), so we gave it a 4 for overall value.
