Location. Location. Location. From the balcony, you can see all of Oia along edge of caldera. Sunrises are just breathtaking. It’s only a couple of houses away from the Oia castle. We’d rest after a day trip and step out to watch the sunset from the castle. Those sunsets are so memorable; it’s a postcard come to life. The house is so close to the castle that we heard the donkeys’ bells when they made their trip up to the castle one morning. We enjoyed the serenity and are glad we didn’t have to deal with the crowds. Amenities in the house were complete. Bring adaptors if you need them for the power outlets. One day, the power went off around 9am and we noticed that the backup light lost power not long after that. We had planned to leave for the day anyway. Locals said power would be restored at 2pm. Internet speed was good enough for us to stream the evening news and watch movies on our devices. Thankful for the porter who assisted us with our luggage on arrival and departure. Airport transfers were booked for us as well. We left a phone behind but Christina mailed it right away. We paid her thru Airbnb; tracked the package. DHL delivered it 5 days later. All in all, with great hosts, comfortable quarters with a kitchenette, nearby restaurants with a good selection of cuisine, ability to stream videos even in the evenings, fabulous sunsets and sunrises and the iconic views from the balcony—it’s simply one of the most perfect vacation spots in the world.
