We, as a couple and our four grownup children rented both of the adjoining properties, to celebrate some family birthdays. We had a really wonderful week in Kostoulas house. We were welcomed by Kostoula and her daughter, even though it was very late after flight delays. The house was very clean, well equipped and the swimming pool and outside spaces are lovely. The house was cleaned during our stay and we had fresh bed linen. It is quite open plan, as explained in the details. It wasn't a problem as the sleeping areas are on different levels and it means the air con gets all around. The small village is very pretty and we tried two of the tavernas, both were very good. It is possible to walk down to the beach and it is a lovely walk but probably best done early in the morning before it gets too hot. We do recommend hiring a car to explore this wonderful unspoilt part of Crete, but if you didn't want to, the taxi services are very good. Kostoula was an excellent host and got back to us very promptly when we had a couple of questions during our stay.
