We were 13 days at Matthew's and Agapi's place. Everything was great from the very beginning on til the end of the trip. As Agapi was not around, Matthew welcomed us. He was so kind to bring us from the airport to his place by car as he had some free time that day. 1 week before flying we discussed all issues and he helped us with the car rental (close to his place). Also, as we have a Baby, he even organized a baby seat for the car. The apartment was very clean, it is large and comfortable. Maximum 2 minutes walk to the beach. On the corner with the main street there is a very nice taverna called Petusi. Please do a favor to yourself and go eat there, the quality is really great for a relatively low price and the stone building stile is really something special. The beaches around are all great. From the apartment you are on a central position in Crete and can easily drive to both extreme sides of the island. Night life on the main street is cool with lots of restaurants and souvenir markets. Also, mini-markets where you can buy food are all over the place. When you close the windows you hear absolutely nothing from outside and the air conditioning system in all rooms work perfectly fine (even though the apartment is quite fresh also on hot days). Otherwise in case you let the windows open you will hear the waves on the beach. The only problem with the apartment was: "our vacations finished and we couldn't stay longer on the apartment 😅). Finally, we recommend Matthew's place to 150%. Stay there and you are not gonna have bad surprises, headaches or regrets.
