We stayed here as part of our holiday in Crete with hiking as a theme. Rena was fantastic , communication before our arrival was efficient and informative and on the day itself it was seem less . Rena could not have been more helpful despite the additional stress of family involvement in crucial examinations ! There were some pleasant touches in the apartment which were not expected, some helpful in a functional way like washing powder etc and some nice personal gestures like gifts of the local olive oil, raki and sweets ! We were well researched regarding the surrounding area but Rena made numerous helpful suggestions and spent a great deal of time to ensure we would get the most from our stay. Would not hesitate to recommend a stay here and Rena was the consummate host with a uniquely personal touch .
