You need a car if you stay here and not the best neighborhood for family with kids since at night it’s a party type spot. Also the internet does not work well if your trying to use for work. The host takes a while to respond and isn’t as helpful if you need help with getting around the area. Host is nice but not the place to stay if you have kids and not familiar with crete. We were going to stay 3 weeks and end up staying 3 nights and had to pay the full week. My work calls kept dropping and I missed two days of work and stressed a lot to find another place to be able to work and move our luggage to another location. I also had to pay an additional $200 on my cell phone plan for the unforeseen bad internet connection. There are places near Kissamos much better for an extra $25 a night where you can take tours very cheap to the beach at Balos and Elafonissa where they help you out if you are unfamiliar with Greece.
