The best thing about the place is it's amazing view, without a doubt. Apart from that there is little to do in Rodia in November, when I visited. I explicitly asked the host if there would be anything open in terms of food and he said yes. Arriving there, everything was close so i was going all the time to Heraklion in order to eat. If i would have known, I wouldn't have booked the place. The other downside was the fact that there are two dogs that bark every time one comes back home. I am not afraid of dogs, but was a bit worried to wake up the whole town and the house every time when coming to the flat, especially in the night. In my opinion the hosts aren't prepared to welcome guests, especially in November, outside of the touristic session. Maybe in summer is different. If you are a couple that wants to spent all the time in the room, it is a good place for it. Just make plenty of provisions. All in all I wouldn't visit again.
