Stayed at Georgios’s place for over a week and we really enjoyed it. Georgios is a lovely and friendly host - we even got a welcome drink (which always makes one happy...). He's decorated the place nicely and was always available to give us information, like bus connections, via WhatsApp. The flat itself is really big with three bedrooms, a living/dining room with an integrated kitchen and a balcony running around it, which on the back is more like a terrace - the front of the balcony has a beautiful view over a little bay. The kitchen is great with really everything a family needs, from different plates and glasses, pots and different appliances. During our nine nights stay the flat was cleaned twice with towels being exchanged.
The location of the flat is a bit outside of Agios Nikolaos, but the main centre can be reached by walking (think took us about 20 minutes). There are three beaches close, one is up the hill close to a hotel, one is more the small local beach (not served, but just a few walking minutes away) and one which is closer to town which is served with a bar and a restaurant. There are some restaurants around the place as well, so for a dinner is really no need to go into town, unless you want lots of people around you. What we liked is that the area is quieter like the town centre and more relaxed, though the area directly around the property is in need of updating - Georgios told us that the road is being fixed.
All in all, if you are looking for a quiet and relaxed place away from the buzz of the centre then this is a certainly a good choice. Wishing Georgios and his friendly family, which lives in the house as well, all the best. Hope to come to Crete again soon!
