Ioannis was an impeccable host. He saved the day when our car hire went wrong, he met us at the airport and drove our luggage and one of our children to the villa. By the time we all arrived it was after 1am but he was relaxed and made us feel so welcome. The food was incredible -organic, home-made delicious treats, bread, honey, olive oil, jam, moussaka, wine, and my kids loved the Nu-Crema (it is like Nutella), and lovely bathroom shampoo etc. The villa is very well equipped with all things you need from coffee to toilet roll to detergent. The house is right next to the beach where it was safe to swim in the clear waters, snorkel, or just relax on the sand. Actually it was more beautiful than the photos :) He recommended lots of things all of which were excellent. The house was perfect for us - lots of areas to siesta in from the hammock to the outside sofa to deck chairs. We could have stayed there for longer easily. The location is brilliant for all the Western beaches, the Samaria and Agia Irini gorges, Chania and other day trips. For a family like ours - 2 adults and 3 children, it was perfect. It was quiet but also within easy access to shops and nearby Cretan delights. Mid-week even some home-made Boureki arrived :) I felt the whole experience of having such a wonderful host made me feel safe and I am not sure we will ever be so lucky as to have such a wonderful host again on AirBnB. I hope we can return and Ioannis is a very tough act to follow. Thankyou Ioannis.
