This house has a great view of the sunset, without having tourist mobs blocking the entrance. The house is very clean, and a cleaning service visits every day. We would recommend buying groceries at Asteras, which is a short walk past the bus stop; but understand that all the meat is frozen. We got lost on our first return to the house, because Google maps is not accurate enough for the small paths, and the paths diverge twice once you get near the places where people watch the sunset. Just remember to always take the high road, and keep walking past the Oia Mansion, even though you cannot see the Bougainvillea house yet.
We were disappointed that the oven did not operate. Cooking is limited to one hot plate, using either the one frying pan or a small pot. The laundry is a laundry service, not a machine in the house.
Paraskevas kindly arranged for a man to carry our bags to and from the bus stop. We had no trouble taking the KTEL buses from Oia to the ferry port, starting with the 08:50 bus to Fira. The entire trip to the port took less than one hour. However, the bus did not seem to operate at the port when we arrived. There is no schedule posted at the port, no KTEL representative, and no schedule online. Either arrange for a transfer service (Paraskevas can do this for you) or take a taxi. If you arrive in the afternoon, understand that the Fira bus terminal is totally disorganized. The buses to Oia stop in different positions in the lot or on the street, so it is impossible for people to line up. When the bus arrives, a mob surrounds the bus and it is difficult to place bags in the cargo hold AND then get seats onboard.
