This apt is perfectly located in the middle of the city but away from the tourists. It was perfect waking up to the unobstructed views of the caldera from the patio (which we used often). Just steps above us to the right was a famous photo spot that is always filled with tourists, but going there early morning we were able to enjoy the views without fighting for a spot.
Apt is fully equipped and has everything you may need. The two single beds in the front living space was perfect for our two kids to sleep in and we were able to sleep in the separated bed in the other 'room'. Would be nice if there was a curtain for some privacy. Beds are really comfortable. Bathroom is beautiful - shower runs great (a little slippery) but compared to all of the other places we stayed in Greece - we had warm water and working shower heads so it was a win!
Maria's team is incredibly responsive and very professional. We were able to arrange transportation with them for 20euro from the airport. We were greeted by Eleni who served as a mini-tour guide helping us to the apt as well as a porter which was REALLY needed to carry our luggage to our apt. Narrow steps, crowded alleys, LOTS of steps - porter was essential. This was all included within our stay. As well as being able to call on Eleni to arrange for a driver (included) to a cruise that we booked with them (highly suggest the catamarans). They also have daily cleaning and trash service. Overall, I would ABSOLUTELY stay here again and would recommend anyone coming out to Oia to for sure stay in this apt as you are right in the middle of the action but get to really enjoy the sights without crowds. It's quiet and don't hear any crowds or noises during the day or night. I would love to come back again.
The only thing I will say is that if we had the funds, we may have splurged for an apt with a patio pool. I think that would be worth it. As we drank up the views on the patio, it gets REALLY HOT so a mini-pool would have been amazing to cool down in. But that's really the only thing to consider and you would have to fork over the extra $$ for one of those apts. Breath-taking is all I can say with our without a pool. Thanks Maria!
