Maria's place was in a better location then I could have imagined! Right next to the blue dome churches you've seen photos of. The steps to get down to the place are very traditional, but the porter comes to assist you with your bags. It was impressive to see him run down those crazy steps with a 40lb suitcase above his head in 85f heat! He even met us at 3am to help us bring our bags up for our flight. They arranged transportation for us to the airport and gave us a very detailed map of Oia upon arrival. The front patio is out of this world and is the main reason we chose this place. The only thing I could say is maybe they could put living room furniture in instead of so many beds, but we just hung it out front the whole time anyway (because it is amazing). So amazing in fact one of the days we had to lock our gate because tourist we're letting themselves into our patio to take photos! If you're looking to stay in in a traditional cave home in Oia we would recommend this Maria's place!
