We were warmly welcomed at Anna's place and our hosts were very kind. We made several daytrips by car from Kissamos, which was a good spot for this. The tips provided by our hosts were also very helpful. At the time of our visit there was no washing machine at the apartment but our hosts were kind enough to do the laundry for us. Warmly recommended :) At the time of writing this (May 2019) some parts of the iland are still affected by the floods which took place during the winter and spring. So you should do some googling before going for example hiking to the gorges, just to make sure the ones you are going to are still accessible.
