Our week at Pantelis' place was very pleasant. Pantelis himself was the star of our stay - he was very reliable, flexible, warm-hearted, and made us feel like at home. His English is excellent, so no communication issues.
The facilities are clean, air-conditioned, and we had no issues.
The location is a bit out of Iraklio and while there is a sea view, the nearest public beach is 45 min walk away, so a car is definitely recommended if you want to see a lot. Having said that, the nearest bus stop is 15 walking distance and the bus to Iraklio (or the other way, to Malia) goes every 15 minutes during high season, so if you don't mind, public transport is an option.
Warmly recommended for great price-quality ratio! We hope to see you again! :)
