We loved our stay in Maria's place in Thira. The host's team met us for early check-in and held our bags past check-out--allowing us extra time and relaxation in Santorini. Communication was easy, with the hosts providing everything we needed to find the apartment (which is delightfully tucked away from the main, crowded street) and information on everything nearby.
The apartment is picturesque with a gorgeous plunge pool (accessible via the front door or directly from the bedroom), a bright desk and corridor area adjacent to the bedroom, spacious bathroom, beautiful tile-floored bedroom, well-equipped kitchen, large seating area inside, Cycladic-style art throughout, large outdoor area, and rooftop lounging area. It is a welcome respite from busy Thira--only a block away from the center of town, it feels much farther away and more tranquil. Because it's so close to the center of town, sunset views, restaurants, souvenir shops, markets, and the bus stop (for easy, cheap transportation to and from the port and airport, the beaches, wineries, and other towns) are all in walking distance. We also enjoyed exploring the nearby towns of Firostefani and Imerovigli by foot.
Santorini was a must-see island on our vacation. Thira was bustling and busy; our AirBnB was a tranquil, comfortable refuge steps from the center of the action.
