Alex was an excellent host and provided a few extra things that we asked for. The apartment was in a quiet neighborhood and 1 block away from a really nice hiking trail. There is a small family run grocery store a few blocks away with all the essentials. Due to the location, a car is essential.
The apartment itself was recently remodeled and everything was very clean. Plenty of hot water and heat when needed. There are two nice balconies to enjoy. The bed was very comfortable as well. We would recommend Alex's apartment to anyone visiting Crete. You won't be disappointed.
