We had a great time in George's studio.

The area is very nice: it's mostly other farms on one side and hills on the other side. On the coast there is a village called Karteros, where you can find tavernas and grocery stores. There is also Lidl supermarket nearby. The beaches are quiet and relaxing, there weren't many people and we could always find two vacant chaises. Seawater is very clean in the area.

The studio was perfect: loft bed (very comfortable!) is a clever idea to make a lot of space. Wifi was strong and fast. In the kitchenette we found everything needed to cook regularly. Air conditioning worked really well and could cool the place in a few minutes. The studio was clean and looked exactly like in the pictures when we arrived.

George and his family are great hosts! We were met in the airport on time by smiling Nikkos. Him and Fofo speak okay English and we always communicated well. They are very welcoming and warm people, who always smiled at us and answered all our questions. They gave us the bikes which is a great way to get around. They also gave us fresh towels and a huge amount of delicious fruits and vegetables later on towards the end of our stay.

They are really very kind. I accidently broke an old bike chain and they said it was ok. Also, as our plane back was at night, Nikkos and I didn't understand each other; as a result of miscommunication, he woke up at 4 a.m. at wrong night to give us a ride (sorry! =( ). Nevertheless, the next day he was smiling and still drove us to the airport the next night at 4 a.m. and gave us a very warm goodbye.

We also got to meet George the last day of our stay. He's also very friendly and speaks great English. Our communication through airbnb was quick and easy.

The experience of living on a farm was truly special: we got to see a lot of cute cats every day, as well as chicken, ducks and sheep. This was great to rest from city life, staying away from touristic resorts at the same time. We felt Crete like never before!

Overall, my girlfriend and I had a really great time at George's studio and would definitely recommend staying there to all our friends and anyone on airbnb!
