My husband and I booked with Panos but seemed like his parents were managing guests while we were there (we never met Panos). His parents are sweet, though.
We rented a car and due to a 2 hour delayed flight, we arrived around sunset which was madness. No parking in sight (parking lot was close and free and was easy to manage during the day) and so many people were there to witness the amazing, iconic sunset. If you can avoid looking for parking even a couple hours before sunset, I would. Due to our later-than-expected arrival, there was some confusion with our check in. Panos’ mother seemed flustered, and it seemed even though the check in time change was communicated that they weren’t ready for our arrival.
The location of the AirBnb was perfect, we were on the edge of Oia and able to walk all over very easily. This is a no-frills location; accurately advertised. Due to not having AC, we were told if we left the doors open to let the cross breeze come through, the evening would be enjoyable but I was not comfortable leaving my door open while sleeping. There was a breeze but we were still hot. The shower head isn’t mounted and appeared broken. When turned on, the water sprayed horizontally all over the shower and bathroom since there was no shower curtain. At the end of the day, we booked the room for the location, and knew we wouldn’t be hanging out in the room all day. We explored and had a blast in town.
The breakfast offered was nice and the sweet bread was delicious. It was prepared by the family which was a delightful touch, with the coffee being a highlight. The terrace was great for the sunset. This view and location sells the property! On our 2nd night, we shared a bottle of wine and sat on the terrace and watched the sunset without the bustling crowd to deal with; it was a perfect escape with a great view!
