Where to begin?! Our stay at Dave and Sue's was beyond our expectations and easily our best airbnb experience yet. Their welcoming hospitality made us feel like we were at home and even a part of the family. We were welcomed with fresh baking, local fruit and homemade preserves. Having never been to Crete, Dave and Sue made several recommendations for places to see and eat- all of which we followed and none of which disappointed. They made our holiday easy and affordable, and because of their local insight we felt we really had an authentic Cretan experience. Our only disappointment was that we didn't stay longer!!
The separate apartment was the perfect size for our party of 4 adults. Absolutely beautifully decorated (much of which is handmade by Dave and Sue!), and very clean. The kitchen is small but had everything we needed. The private outdoor sitting area was beautiful and shaded, perfect for breakfast or evening drinks on the patio. The view of Kissamos bay was stunning and you have full view from the patio and apartment windows. The main bedroom has A/C which also cools down the rest of the apartment. Dave and Sue's pool was wonderful as well, though we didn't have as much time as we wanted to enjoy it! Quiet and secluded, yet only a 5 minute drive to the nearest traditional taverna, 15 minutes to Kissamos itself and 45 minutes to Chania airport.
If you are planning a trip to Crete, do yourself a favour and stay with Dave and Sue. We truly can't recommend them enough!!
