I loved the location of the house -- steps away from the beach with stunning mountain views, which you don't have access to if you stay in Fira or Oia. We rented a car which was very reasonably priced and, in our opinion, necessary to see the island. The air conditioning was appreciated, and the house was spacious. This isn't a particularly luxurious apartment with many amenities, but it has what you'll need. The free airport transfers were also nice, although I did have to wait a little while before being let into the apartment.
