Host:
Irida was an absolute pleasure host. She responded to us within 2 min. She made us feel like we were family. We were a family of 5 traveling with two kids (14&9), my dad, husband and myself. She made us feel like we were visiting family and if we had an emergency then we had a friend to help us.
She was so quick to respond to us, she helped us with all kids of restaurant and beach recommendations. She was a dream host with a dream house.
House: wow wow wow. We were in heaven. Our family travels a great deal. This was our 3rd continent in 4 months. We often stay in Airbnbs. This house by far was the best experience yet. The decor, the comfort, the warmth, the view, the pool, the peace, the serenity was out of this would. We stayed there for 4 days May 30, 2018- June 3, 2018. It was amazing. I felt like I was at home. We even tried to cancel our Santorini trip so we can stay longer in Crete. Its a great island and this house and host made it better. We swam all day while soaking up the breathtaking views and cooking amazing meals in the outdoor and indoor kitchen. We enjoyed every dinner outside and climbed to sleep in cozy beds. It was super clean for this OCD mom and I can’t recommend it more for families. We loved it so much that on our last day, the kids and I forgo seeing the island to staying back at the house for some more swimming and relaxing. Location is great. Close to market and town. I do recommend renting a car as taxis can add up and a car gives you freedom. Its 30 mins. From the airport and port. I was a great experience and as I write this while in Santorini, I am in regret that we couldn’t stay longer. Don’t hesitate— just book.
FYI: we did pay extra to heat pool. It was warm for us and kids enjoyed but due to electricity out there, it was expensive.
Again don’t hesitate.
