The apartment itself was beautiful and in a wonderful location. Literally our front door opened to the water. Quite a hike up the steps to Oia but doable and beautiful the whole way. The only problem we had with our stay was the lack of responsiveness we received from the hosts once we arrived. On our last day, we had a late flight so the hosts offered to store our bags and arrange transport to the airport. We would meet the porter with our bags at 6:50 and leave the Bay at 7pm. Well, 6:50 rolls around and no one is there...no bags or ride to the airport. No one answers my messages on the app and the lovely tour company next door calls Nicoletta herself around 7:15 and we get ahold of someone around 7:30. Eventually things get organized at our ride arrives at 7:45, for our 8:30 flight. Everything ended up working out but that hour of unnecessary stress was not how we wanted to end our stay. If you choose to stay here, you will have a lovely time but I wouldn’t rely on the hosts for anything other than the key to the apartment.
*Update- after leaving the island, the hosts have apologized immensely for the confusion on our travels and luggage. They seem sincere and I do not think the same mistake will be made again. This apartment is a lovely, family-run business!
