The short version: our group of five stayed here for a week, and we all agreed that this was the best Airbnb stay we've ever had. Book with confidence. The villa is just outside of Heraklion, and the location is great. It feels secluded and exclusive (with an amazing view) but still near enough to the city that you don't feel cut off. Taxis are easy to arrange, and generally quite hassle-free, but a rental car is helpful if you plan on buying groceries or taking day trips. Speaking of helpful: Kostas and his family were amazing hosts. He's quick to respond to communication, and even met some members of our group at the airport and showed them some of the better shops for groceries, etc. A few nights in, Kostas' mother offered to cook us dinner, and it was one of the best meals we had in the week. The property itself is extremely well-provisioned, and has everything anyone might need. Really, I can't say enough good things. Book the place -- just not when I want to.
