The value is great for the money you're paying. Maria was easy to reach, we did not get to meet her but she had a porter ready for us. We didnt get to check in until 1330 even though it says 1300 because it wasn't ready yet. But they will store your luggage for you at the Blue sky restaurant but it's out in the open and there are people eating all around so not sure how safe your luggage is there while you're out exploring. Just bring extra locks for your backpacks etc. The place is about 25 steps up to the main pedestrian street. It's a quiet area. You don't directly see the caldera until you walk out the door but it's nice to see in the morning. The place is big and spacious, kitchen was well equipped. The bed was okay but we slept comfortably during our stay. The only issue we had was that during the night, the toilet leaked water onto the floors and left a bad smell throughout our stay. But overall if you want to be close to the pedestrian street without having to pay expensive prices for staying in Oia, you should stay here. The porter also arranged a taxi for us at 5 am and he helped us with our bags. They carry really heavy luggage so a tip for them would be kind!
