It’s a rustic cottage in a little seaside town. Has a quaint charming quality to it and also fabulous restaurants along the shore. You can order made to order barbecue from the host and I would definitely do that. The host helped us hire a car and we did a private tour of the city of Heraklion which was a great decision. After our hectic trip in Santorini, this was a welcome change. Irene and her family were ever so gracious. They plied us with food and drinks, fresh vegetables from their garden and were always around to answer any questions. Just a word of caution - the shower is a bit tricky for us city dwellers but a great village rustic experience. I will definitely stay again with Irene and have already recommended her to a friend.
