The location of this Airbnb was amazing! You are one short staircase away from the main pedestrian road in Oia. Wonderful restaurants and shopping is just a short walk away.
The view from the second story balcony is incredible. You don’t get much view from the private patio unless you’re standing, but it’s worth it to have that closed off area. There are a lot of people walking through the hills, so to have the option to close the gate was really nice.
The interior of the house was also beautiful. You get a perfect view from the kitchen window, and a ton of light comes in when you open the shutters. We kept our doors open all day while we were there. The beds were also really comfortable and the entire place was well kept and clean. The photos of this place are extremely accurate.
Things to know:
The second story balcony is in direct view of the restaurant next door. So unless you’re out there in early morning or late at night, you have pretty close company of the restaurant goers. But there was not a lot of noise from the restaurant, so that’s a plus.
The air conditioning unit on the first floor is extremely loud. We checked the settings, but it is just a loud unit. It sounded like the wind was blowing like crazy outside. We just tried to run it for short periods of time so it didn’t get overwhelming.
We did have a few issues with check in and getting ahold of someone when we had issues in the home. Small things like lights that didn’t work and just not knowing where we should put trash. We found that communication was just a little lagged and some of the questions we had just never got addressed or answered.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for an amazing view and somewhere to just relax. It was a beautiful spot and the positives definitely outweighed the few small negatives. I would absolutely stay here again.
