Can not hype the apartment and the host enough. Personally my expectations were high from the apartment listing and images, yet I was still amazed. The interior design is extremely stylish and modern with so much detail it literally took hours to take it all in. The apartment, including the kitchen, has all the appliances you would need for your stay, even a washing machine for your clothes, although you should buy your own detergent of course.
Individual AC units in the two bedrooms and living room will keep the entire apartment cool even in hotter outside temperatures, not a single problem.
The apartment location across the street from a long beach is perfect with free private parking offered for our rental car. Not too many tourists around even during the busy summer months (they're a bit more down the road) and an easily accessible place with a car, even at night in the dark, since Crete doesn't have a lot of street lights in general. Supermarkets, different kinds of shops and restaurants are all very close nearby, and for stuff you can't find from the local supermarkets close by, two Lidl's are a 10 minute drive away.
The apartment has a fast wifi and even Netflix for free. Overall the apartment offers so much more than what you'd get from a hotel or other Airbnb's around the area according to our thorough research before booking the place.
Lastly, the friendliness, flexibility, hospitality and helpfulness of the host with the little help of the neighbours living above the apartment is beyond anything I've experienced through Airbnb with constant help through the app's chat regardless of time of day. He definitely did his best to make sure we enjoyed our stay to the fullest even though we unfortunately didn't meet him in person for schedule reasons. Could've stayed a lot longer than a week at this place and will be back for sure!
