This house is EPIC! Truly one of the highlights of our week long Cretan tour. You cannot beat the view, and Ionna is THE best host I've ever had on AirBnB. Not only is she sharp, precise, communicative, helpful, responsive, and prepared -- but also incredibly beautiful ;-)
We stayed for 2 nights in June 2017 with 4 adults total, and I simply cannot recommend it enough!
The house is obviously up on a hill in Platanias, but it is easily walkable. Yes, you have to walk back up the hill if you want to go to the beach or to the main square (5 mins max), but it's totally worth it.
This house is fully remodeled and decked out, it is in a very authentic Cretan village with amazing restaurants that have sweeping views and glorious sunsets.
The terrace is sunny and great for sunbathing/relaxing/smoking/coffee/views/sunset/sunrise. Ionna stocks the house with LOTS of amenities (coffee, tea, herbs, seasoning, butter, shampoo, hats, etc), and many extras.
There is great A/C in each room to keep the place cold on hotttt Cretan summer days.
So -- we loved it.
Only small cons (if any):
1) Walk up hill for old or lazy people -- I didn't mind
2) Bedroom upstairs is more of a loft (less privacy) -- great for kids or no funny stuff ;)
3) Drive up can be a little tricky for timid/hesitant/inexperienced drivers -- no issue for me, free parking too
4) Only one bathroom
