Thank you George for having us!
We lived in George’s house for one month, during a locked down COVID November month to be precise. We absolutely loved the space. The house and garden is big and clean and had everything we could need. The fireplace makes for some super cozy evenings and helps (together with the strong A/C) to keep the place cozy and warm, when it’s not the perfect summer weather. The kitchen had everything we needed, big fridge, gas stove, big table, etc. We got our groceries either from one of the supermarkets in the village, which is about 5 mins by bike away, or took the car to a bigger shop close to Heraklion.
Since we work online internet connection is always important to us (and Greece isn’t the best country for it) and initially we had some minor issues with just about 10 mbps. George was quick to respond and ordered a new router which brought it up to 20-30 mbps which was great.
We also loved going for a run around the olive farms, up the hills to Prassas, in the Karteros canyon and next to the beach - wonderful nature.
The only thing that got annoying where the dogs everywhere. We are animal lovers and grew up with multiple pets, but the farm dogs aggressively bark at anyone passing their territory, so you often hear barking and howling. We almost got used to it at some point but if you’re sensitive to noise your mileage may vary. We did fall in love with all the nice cats though...
All in all: great and stylish place, beautiful location, amazing host - we loved our time there!
