Nikos and his assistant are brilliant hosts - they've prepared everything for our stay, welcomed us with huge amount of food, dairy, fruits, sweets and even homemade raki (very good!) !! The host visited us during our stay just to bring us a big fresh cake with chocolate chips - that was a premium surprise and what I would call a true Cretan warm welcome and hospitality!
It is a really wonderful, newly refurbished house, with all brand new amenities in place. This is really safe and quiet neighborhood, within short reach of minimarket, tavernas (2 minutes drive) in Agios Ioannis, as well as shops and tavernas in Mirthos overlooking the bay (8 min drive), and Plakias beach (12 minutes drive), where you can find everything else (petrol station, ATM, supermarket etc.) The house is surrounded with gardens as promised, but fruits were not ready while we stayed there:) The pool is big enough not only for fun with kids, but also for swimming if you don't mind short laps:)
We would really suggest every family up to three kids to stay here, if you are looking for peace and comfortQ
