Laskarina and John were exceptional hosts and went beyond expectations to help make our 6 day vacation on Santorini magical. Communication before and during our visit was speedy; a cell phone programmed with their numbers was provided with the apartment in case email, which was always responded to quickly, wasn't fast enough. Laskarina arranged transportation upon arrival and departure which was greatly appreciated, stress reducing, and recommended for future guests especially if the island is in it's busy season. We were thankful that with late ferry arrival that our ride was still waiting for us at the port! John met us promptly in Oai, helped with luggage, and arranged for extra sheets for use in the living room which came right away. It was comforting knowing the hosts were available, yet not intrusive. Laskarina kindly arranged for a half day sailing trip (a vacation highlight!), provided island history, and her favorite island places. We had fun hunting out,trying and were pleased with her recommended restaurants and cafes in Oai.
Arriving at the apartment had us in awe. Only a few steps down the main pedestrian lane, yet a sanctuary from the sometimes crowds there. The apartment's views and aesthetics were superlative and photos are true and accurate. A bottle of wine, basket of fruit and water were waiting for us upon arrival made us feel welcome. It was comfortable for our family of four with good sleeping. We ate breakfasts there all mornings with no limitations. There was no better place to relax than the apartment's many terraces.
I highly recommend Laskarina and John as hosts and Unique architecture as a place to stay in Oai.
