If we have to evaluate only our hosts - Maria, Giorgos, Jorgos and all the other members of the family we would definitely give 5 stars- however we need to include the apartment and it was not perfect that's why me and my wife decided that more than 4 will be unfair towards all the others we have been in until now and also against the coming visitors. So for the big pluses at the beginning- the apartment is very clean and there was a room service every 2 days- really great. There is a kitchen and terrace and air conditioning- everything as described in the house description. The check in was really easy - Maria came by scooter and brought us to the house which was some 100m from the place we arrived. At the beginning there was some issues with the new air conditioner- which after we notified them was fixed before we came back. The terrace is huge and perfect for a dinner in the late evening. Or a salad with the great tomatoes Jorgos and his family shared with us. The apartment is close to the city center- some 10min walk and pretty much same distance to the next beach- which is however not the best one. I would say you need the car or scooter if with kids to drive to the Maria Beach if so hot as in our case - around 40 degrees or plus. There is a place to park the rental car just infront of the house, if you have any. The neighborhood is really calm and quiet- with closed windows we couldn't hear anything. Now to the things which bothered us a bit and can be improved- first of all the kitchen was too small and you couldn't really cook something there. You can maybe wash some dishes and fruits, but was not convenient to cut something like watermelon or bread or something as not enough surface available. Second we found the bathroom also a bit too small. Was ok to take a shower, but you feel like pushed in the corner all the time. This also remembers me to say that according to us the apartment is for 2 to 3 persons, but not more. We were 2 adults and a kid and i think it was on the limit- and you spend maybe 1-2 hours a day inside as most of the time outside anyway. And last but nit least - the apartment has wonderful terrace with great view and we found it pity that the table was really small and not really inviting for a long and good dinner on this beautiful terrace. I think a bigger, nicer table would be a great investment. So all in all we can really recommend this apartment- for a pair or a family with a small kid. The village of Kissamos is great place to start many trips to sone of the most beautiful cretan beaches and is not far...
