If you are coming to Santorini and plan to stay in Oia, stay at Maria's place.

My wife and two daughters (10 and 11) and I stayed there in April 2016. Her communication was good, which was important to us when travelling internationally especially. Her friend, Vasilis, met us at the Oia Bus Station Parking Lot (the only place to park a car in the tiny town of Oia) with no issues after we landed, rented a car, and drove to Oia (we supplied our flight information so they knew approximately when we would be arriving to Oia). Meeting here is key, as there are no addresses in Oia, and finding the house would not be possible without help. Vasilis was *extremely* helpful; he carried our daughters’ suitcases thought the crazy streets and stairs of Oia down to Maria’s house on the cliffs of Oia, making it much easier for my wife and I. Thanks Vasilis!

Maria’s place is perfect. Clean, and really large, with plenty of room for a family of four. Our girls loved the “upstairs” loft. Her Airbnb pictures are very representative. It is a perfect place to come home during the middle of the day after a morning of sightseeing to relax and regroup before going out again for the evening. The terrace view, directly out into the Aegean, is utterly amazing, especially for sunsets. While the tour buses drive tour groups in to crowd on the cliffs of the Byzantine Castle Ruins, you have your own spacious terrace upon which to spread out and relax and enjoy a sunset in what has to be one of the best places to see a sunset on earth.

The location is also perfect. Very quiet at night, but within a 5 - 15 minute walk of all of the shops and restaurants in Oia.

We would stay at Maria’s place again in a heartbeat. Thanks Maria!
