Stayed in oia for a week at the start of November. Location of the apartment is perfect, south facing, sheltered from the strong winds and nearby to one of the best sunset spots. Despite everything shutting when we arrived and spending the last 2 days in lockdown we really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is fairly well equipped for basic cooking with an oven and electric stove, although could have done with some basic cooking essentials. The master bedroom gets very hot even in November and needed the 2 fans to keep cool. Be warned, there are quite a few steps to negotiate to get from the car park/drop off point.
Our only bad experience was caused by the hot tub which appears to be falling apart a little bit and is not regularly cleaned, which we found out by getting a bad case of hot tub rash, or folliculitis which is caused by bacteria that thrives in poorly treated warm water. We didn’t see anyone arrive to clean the hot tub whilst we were there and the rash meant we were in some discomfort and obviously unable to use it for our final days in Santorini.
Communication with the host was good, he informed us of updates in regards to COVID rules etc. However we were not offered any kind of compensation for the dirty hot tub and the resulting skin infection.
If the hot tub was upgraded and cleaned and maintained properly, I would recommend staying here. Based on our departing gift of a nasty rash, I would obviously recommend staying elsewhere.
