Krasi's place was easy for us to find and very convenient for us as we had a hire car. Even if you don't have a car there is a bus (coach you need to hail) stop a few minutes away opposite the pizza restaurant that travels to and from Heraklion Centre/Airport. Krasi was a lovely host and his wife made us some lovely cake and biscuits. There was plenty of room in the house and the garden was very nice to have; we definitely made use of the outside BBQ area.
The beach is a short walk away (although I would advise going in search of other beaches if you can), and there are shop and a couple of supermarkets a short drive away. The only thing I would advise that I only noticed when looking for the house on Google Maps prior to the trip and upon arriving, is that it is beside a highway. It's not particularly noisy in the evening, which is when we spent most of our time in the house, but it's worth being aware of.
We had a lovely time at Krasi's place and he was always available to answer any questions I had. What more could you want from a host :-)
