First of all, this house is absolutely charming. It is beautifully decorated, the layout is functional and it is well equipped. The village and the sorroundings, with its chaotic little streets also give you the feeling of truly living amongst the locals which we particularly enjoy. Be prepared to put your orientation skills to the test though, cause the first time we were left on our own we had trouble finding the house again, but after we identified some "landmarks" for turning points and such we were ok :-)

Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet Manolis in person although he kept in touch all the way until he made sure we got there as we were a little late and he also sent us a message the next day to offer his help should we need it. The young men who met us at Neapolis to take us to the house were helpful but not too comunicative, but then again they might have been in a hurry because we were late.

I would recommend this house for an "authentic feel" of Crete without missing out on all the comforts.
