Expect the best and beyond! The pictures don't do it justice. The apartment is so clean and Penelope is so accomodating. We did not meet in person but she was incredibly communicative and I felt that all our needs were met. The beach is literally 50 feet away from the porch and the balcony view is just incredible and so peaceful. The air conditioner in the top bedroom is so amazing as well haha! The beach has the cleanest water in crete, with amazing diving (we saw a Careta Careta sea turtle!!!) Overall this was one of my most favorite airbnb experiences to date :) I see this being a family tradition.
