We had a very lovely time staying at this place. The hosts were warm, welcoming, very responsive, and extremely helpful with tips. The location was great for us - far away from the overcrowded towns and situated in a small town with great vistas. As beginner drivers in hilly Crete, it tooks 45-60 minutes to reach Elifonisi and Balos. But we enjoyed the drives. The apartment itself was special in both its architecture as well as in the special touches by the hosts: fruit, bread, jam, cake, eggs, water, juice, coffee, and raki. It did not go past us that they even have a first aid kit. We would definitely recommend this place to visitors!
