We liked our holiday in this house. I recommend to say here.
If we decide to stay in south coast of the Crete we will stay in this house again.
Mavinos and his wife are very hospitable and nice people. When we arrived we found some food in the fridge, water, milk, wine, some fruits. It was more then enough for next day breakfast (we arrived late evening and food was very appreciated).
House: it's about 70 m2, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, dining room.
House has own garden and nice terrace (about 25-30 m2) where we had our every day meal and BBQ.
Garden is not small, I think 200-250 m2, there are some trees and very nice lemon tree with lots of lemons. We picked up lemons and did lemon juice (Mavinos, thank you for electricity juice maker that u brought on the second day!).
Air conditioning in every room except one bed room, so 4 rooms are air conditioned.
House is old Greece stone house, but renovated recently. It has good design, new furniture, quite comfortable beds (IKEA mattresses).
Location:
1. From the sea: it's "second line", 2 mins by walk - you just need to pass "first line" houses and cross the road.
2. From a city and large markets: 4 km away from Ierapetra, it takes 7 mins by car. We went to Ierapetra to by fresh fish, to supermarkets to buy food and some clothes (there are few good shops in the center).
3. Around the corner of the house: a farmacy and a market (shop).
4. Minor disadvantage: road near the house (which you need to cross on your way to the sea) is quite busy during the day and sometimes noisy than tracks go through, but in late evening and during nights it's quiet enough.
5. Tourist sightseeing: enough if you travel with car.
Closest beaches:
The nearest beach, which is 2 mins away, is OK but nothing special. We liked the beach of Ierapetra coz of trees, services, shops and restaurants nearby.
