Really nice place, exactly as described. Manuela was there to meet us on arrival to show us the ropes. She really made us feel welcome. George had also arranged a taxi to pick us up from the airport which was a good idea as it may be a bit difficult to find, otherwise.
The apartment is modern, clean and a short walk to the national road where there's a bus stop. It's everything you need to base yourself in Crete for a week. I would highly recommend it!
I would definitely recommend renting a car while you are here. It makes exploring the island so much easier. There are so many car rental places around. Go for a local one as they are cheaper than the big, global companies.
