We loved staying at Katerina and George’s place, Heart of Oia. They were the most thoughtful and delightful hosts - they helped us organise airport and ferry transfers, walked us to the bus stop to make sure we found the right transfer, gave us excellent restaurant recommendations, greeted us with flowers, and even did some laundry for us!
The place itself is in a fantastic location - very near the bus station and all of the best attractions, shops and restaurants in Oia (though you don’t hear any noise). It was very clean and well-furnished with everything you need. While it doesn’t have a water view or a pool, it is a really affordable option in the thick of the action. And it does have a huge courtyard which gets lovely afternoon sun, that we spent quite some time in.
The only reason that there aren’t too many reviews for this place yet is that it’s really new. But take the plunge and book it, as once people realise how awesome it is, it will be in high demand!
Thanks George, Katerina and Niki!
