We stayed at Stella's apartment for a week in mid May. We arrived on Sunday morning and were greeted by her brother Georgios who was there to help us check in and be our host in her stead.
Our first impression of the apartment was that it was bigger than we expected and very nicely decorated. There were ample household items for us to use, for example shower gel, shampoo, a variety of soaps, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, anti-mosquito supplies and some romantic candles among other things! Georgios had also provided us with fresh fruit, coffee and tea and juice and bottled water, as well as a few cold beers and raki :) The apartment had a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with washing machine, large living space and a separate bedroom with closet space. Towels were also provided (but make sure to bring your own beach towels or buy them for around 5 euros at the nearby shops).
We both felt that the apartment was lovely and we loved our stay here. Besides that, Georgios hospitality really made our stay amazing. We could always easily reach him for recommendations on what to do in Crete and where to go for good local food. For example he recommended the Peskesi restaurant to us (definitely a great place to eat authentic Cretan food) as well as the Chrisi island which had amazing beaches.
For the two of us, a couple in their twenties, we felt like we were staying at a luxury resort for the week, with the beach literally one minute away. We really enjoyed having a car too, as it we could go on several day trips across the island and enjoy the mountainous Cretan landscape while driving. There was also ample free parking around the apartment. We would definitely highly recommend Stella's place for anyone wanting to explore Crete or enjoy the beach! :)
