This is a beautiful, modernist 2nd floor apartment with stunning views across the lake from the main balcony of the master bedroom. (There is also a small balcony in the back room/kitchenette where the sofa can be made into a single bed). Superb location for exploring the lovely town of Agios Nikolaus. Maria was so kind and accommodating, the perfect host who took the time and trouble to drive us to the bus station. Nice touches included fresh fruit, drinks in the fridge, superb coffee machine and kettle for tea. Also good to have a decent sized bathroom with a roomy shower. We would certainly recommend Emerald Lake Studios as the perfect staycation place in Crete!
