Our family of 5 recently stayed in Oia for 6 nights. This property has an excellent location and the view is even better in real life. It was very hot while we were there and the airconditioning was not really adequate in 2 of the sleeping areas. The kitchen is barely a kitchen and needs review. There is no plug in the sink, or bucket, making washing dishes difficult. There is no tea towel.The oven, very small, was dirty. We had to ask for more plates--only 4 there and we are a family of 5. We also had to ask for a chopping board and bread knife. The hot plate took an hour to simmer a pot of water for pasta. There is no toaster. Whilst I appreciate that alot of people eat out on holiday, our 6 nights were towards the end of a holiday and we were sick of eating every meal out, hence we rented a self contained property. Also, because it was so hot, walking out for every meal was not really what we wanted to do. But the kitchen , with barely any bench space at all, is virtually unusable. Also, the back bathroom smelled funny intermittently. The view and the Jacuzzi make this property rentable, but knowing that cooking is not a great option. If the kitchen and appliances were updated then my review would be very different.

George looked after us. He was lovely and showed us around Oia when we arrived, which was extremely helpful.

But he did say that the bins would be emptied every day and this didn't happen. There is no washing machine so George organised a bag of washing to go to the laundry. We were told this would take 24 hours, but it took more than 48 hours and there were items in the returned bag that did not belong to us. After 2 weeks away and with a family of 5, I was unable to tell you if all our clothes were returned.

The lights in the property were not fully functioning. The globes had blown and despite requesting these be addressed some of the rooms have inadequate lighting. Also, quite a number of times the safety switch flicked all the power off. Whilst this can be reset, this definitely presents a problem when you are in the shower.

Overall location is outstanding, but the property is tired and needs some maintenance. Despite this we had a lovely time in Oia and would still recommend staying here but with the expectation of eating out for most meals.
