We loved our stay!
Some of the things that made our stay so lovely were:
-Porch had a charming view of the street
-Porch entry had two sets of doors that kept heat and light out at night
-AC was very strong and functional
-Kitchen was stocked with necessities
-Room was furnished with a drying rack which made washing clothes very useful. We did see a laundry room but were unsure if that was accessible or not
-Pool was awesome! Wish we had used it more
-As two young women traveling alone we felt very very safe
-Parking lots are a rarity in town so we were very grateful to have it
-Place was basic (not very luxurious) but very clean and well kept, making it a steal for the price. We stayed in Chania at a similar place for almost double the rate.
-Shops, markets, pharmacy, tavernas and beaches are steps away (under a minute walk)
-had housekeeping one day which was unexpected but appreciated
A couple things to know before your stay:
-AC while powerful was difficult to figure out at first
-in general English is spoken by everyone but at varying abilities. We were able to communicate with our host but it was sometimes a bit difficult. (On us for not knowing any Greek!)
-The town itself is very small and not very accessible by public transit except maybe boat so a car rental is a must. Most island hot spots are an hour or more away
-Walls are thin but I usually wear earplugs when traveling so it wasn’t an issue
-Stelios wasn’t on-site for us but put us in contact with his cousin who was onsite and was very responsive, friendly, and helpful
-Family oriented (not necessarily the place to have an adults-only vacation)
-Parking wasn’t easy to find initially and was full the first day but once we got it once it was easy and we were able to find a spot easily the rest of the trip
-Pool hours were a little unclear
Overall we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely return.
