We had a great holidays in Crete and Maria's house was amazing! It has beautiful sea view from each window/balcony, the beach is in 30 sec walk - right in front of the house cross the road, there are many nice cafes and restaurants in short walking distance, 2 big supermarkets (Lidl and in.ka) in 5 min drive by car. The house itself looks very new, modern, stylish.. the furniture, kitchenware, bedding etc all is like new and very clean (and trust me if I say clean it means clean). Maria is the best host you can ever dream about! She is unobtrusive and very responsible, friendly and easygooing. When we arrived she surprised our little boy with a present and had a lovely welcome basket for us, also arranged a lunch for us in nearby cafe where we could taste delicios national dishes and spend some time while the house were cleaning after previous guests. We also found the "welcome book" by Maria very usefull, there were many good advices about the restaurants and places to go. Generally we can highly recomend Maria's house and will be happy to get back there one day as well.
