The views from the terrace, in our opinion, were the best on the island--even Oia! We were sorry that we spent time fighting traffic and finding parking in Oia when we had the perfect sunset right where we were. The location is walking distance to mini-markets and quick bites to eat. The ample parking made our car rental experience on the island so easy.
The house is very quirky with eclectic decor and personal effects. You feel as if you are staying in someone's home instead of a standard bnb which is neither good nor bad. We think you just need to know what to expect. The second bedroom is in an open space just off the living room with a half-wall partition. The private bedroom does not have ventilation, so it is cozy, but we needed to keep the door open. The a/c was plenty powerful and the house remained pleasantly cool. There wasn't any space except a closet in the main bedroom to store your clothes. We used our open suitcases. The living area is comfortable and functional (not your standard couch, but cushions atop their private storage), and the dining table is large. The kitchen and main bathroom are equally functional, though you did need to flip the breakers for 15 minutes to get hot water. There is a second bathroom located just outside the house which is larger. That gave us a bit more room to get ready. These are the quirky points that did not negatively detract from our stay. But it's not the living accommodations you would expect for the price point.
However, the terrace, which is HUGE, is what you ARE getting. 360 views with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There is a hot tub, an outdoor kitchen space and a lovely outdoor dining area with chairs and chaises (a little worn). One could host a party up there. The terrace is right off the main walkway to Fira with its own locked access (very handy). The view is a very popular area for many strollers to stop and do their photoshoot. In the age of selfies, Instagram and SnapChat, this can get annoying. One sunset, there was actually a line of couples forming to take pics right in front of us. So just know that will come. But the sunsets will take your breath away...every single night. There is also an outdoor patio in front of the house that is perfect for sunrises. Truly spectacular views which makes this property one to consider!
