Maria was the perfect host! She greeted us when we arrived and gave us a full list of recommendations, a fresh bowl of fruit, homemade treats, tea and snacks. She was really organised, leaving us all the bus timetables and answered any questions we had about Crete. The flat was sparkling clean beautifully decorated and really spacious (there were three of us). There were two sunny balconies, perfect for breakfast in the morning, a washing machine and a washing line. The flat is 10 mins from the old town and easy walking distance to all amenities. The neighborhood felt safe and central. Maria was extremely quick to respond when we asked for an extra key, and had any general queries. She always made sure to check we were ok and had everything we needed. She was always punctual and came to say goodbye and collect the keys. We really enjoyed chatting to her and hope to see her again one day.
