Maria was an excellent communicator, which is especially important to me. She had 100% response rate on all questions and within a few hours. While we did not actually meet Maria, since she manages many properties, her network of people were very helpful positive people. All aspects went well from pick-up at the airport (although our taxi driver was a little late) to drop off back at the airport three days later.

The property was just as described: The location picturesque and convenient, the rooms spacious (for a cave!) and the services of portage and towel/sheet exchange.

I was a little surprised that the bathroom is reached by walking out the front door a few steps (in the little terrace pictured with the small table and two chairs)...but that even has its advantages since that location ensured good light and ventilation.

The WiFi worked very well. You'll have constant reminders that you're in a cave; unless you are short, you'll have to duck to pass from room to room. The kitchenette is well equipped, which really helps us since we like to shop and do some basic food preparation but you'll have to plug and unplug appliances since there are not many electric outlets there.

One nice advantage of this location is that it is near a dead-end. There are only a small number of properties which are past this one, so there is very little foot traffic going past. Some of the properties have nearly non-stop people walking past.

The view from the terrace is stunning, even at night when the brightness of the stars is in full display.

Our stay was in early May, which was just before the heavy tourist season. If you come during the summer months, starting from May 15, you are going to experience big crowds. Cruise ships release 100's of people (you can see the ships from the terrace), who will make their way to Oia by the droves! There were times that the quaint and adorable passageways of Oia felt more like a crowded shopping mall than an Island get away.

We were quite satisfied and would highly recommend Maria, the staff and La Mer Cave House.
