5.5 out of 5 Stars. Views perfect. Wind perfect. Stairs perfect. Sun/shade perfect. Romance perfect. All of Oia is great – but it’s hard to understand how perfect this Air BNB location is until you come. And Emily is the super-est of Super Hosts!
You can enjoy Oia wherever you stay, but this place packs so much perfect (and for a good price). The pictures do it justice, plus the bonus that there is even a rooftop (another option for sunbathing and such). But 2 heroes to mention 1) the patio – which has side walls to provide privacy/wind-blocking/shade (and an awning for mid-day shade) and the 2) the location (right off the Oia walking path, but with ways to quickly slip off the path during peak crowd/shopping times). 2b) This location avoid the constant stair (many of the fantastic places “down” the hill look great BUT come with many tiring steps to get down or up…and wow are they tiring).
There are quirks – but you see them in the photos. The stairs to get to the bathroom. The open bathroom (no shower stall). The noisiness of nearby voices/restaurant/rooftop people in the night (we solved that by putting on the AC to sleep).
We’ve been to Paris, London, Barcelona, Lisbon, Bali, Hawaii and more…but for a romantic place to come and a perfect apartment for the week, we recommend Oia and we recommend Emily and Gill’s place!!
