I stayed a Pela's for a week with my partner and two kids (6 and 4 yrs old). The plan was to rent a car and take day trips in the Heraklion and Lassithi areas. Pela's place was more than perfect for our purposes, not only providing a central yet quiet location but also a lovely place to relax when not out and about.
The house is a tastefully decorated 2 bedroom with everything you need to be comfortable. Spacious bedrooms with closet space and air conditioning (so nice!), bathroom, large living room, fully equiped kitchen, a lovely balcony AND outside kitchen to relax outdoors. Beautiful green grass for the kids to play. There were also some toys / games (and sweets) there which the kids enjoyed and a trampoline as well! Pela also left us some local treats which were happily consumed :)
I think for us what really made it great was that we never missed anything. The area was quiet, the place comfortable, so after a day of being out about with the kids you really could relax as if it was your home (but then witch some beautiful views and weather which we dont have at home).
Also worth saying, Pela was always very responsive and provided us with good and accurate information when we needed it. She is friendly and inviting and made us feel at home. The neighbours are also very nice and very welcoming.
We would absolutely recommend Pela's place to anyone. 10/10
