Nick is a great, welcoming host and his house makes a great 'home base' if you want to live like a local in Crete. It is located in a small, friendly village with all basic needs (grocery, cafes, bakery, bar, ATM) all within a 5 minute walk. The house has a great outdoor living space and is very well maintained. The nearby town of Rethymno also had our favorite 'old town' area in Crete.
As with most other places in Crete, be prepared for the limitations of local infrastructure. Local roads can be small and rough, and plumbing sensitive. No toilet paper allowed in the toilets!
We stayed at Nick's with our friends (another family of four) so there were 4 adults and 4 kids altogether. The 3 upstairs bedrooms are great, but the fourth upstairs sleeping area is actually an alcove in the hallway. The two kids that got those beds were not happy about it at first, so be aware of that. Hopefully, it is not an issue for you.
The common living areas of the house, downstairs and outside, are all great. The WiFi is easy and reliable, and the outdoor BBQ very enjoyable to use. The pool is small but clean and elegant. Perfect for cooling off after sunbathing. There is also an outdoor shower.
We wish we could have stayed longer, and wish others an equally pleasant stay at Nick's!
