We stayed 3 nights at Manos' place. We wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely one of our top Airbnb experiences: a cozy, immaculate apartment with an awesome balcony on the sea and a little hidden beach just a few steps aside. Staring at the waves at night and diving into the water right after we woke up was priceless.
Manos is a very sensitive and careful host, communication was quick and easy. Extra thanks to him and his wife for the wine and watermelon, and of course for the suggestions on restaurants, beaches, and everything else.
If you have a car Koutsouras is a perfect place to explore large parts of eastern Crete, being places like Ierapetra, Xerokambos, Agios Nikolaos perfectly at hand.
Great experience, hope to be back.
