Stathis and Maria made us feel welcome on Crete. Stathis sent me detailed turn by turn instructions for getting to the house - make sure you follow what he sends you rather than trying to use navigation software. The place is a guest apartment on the upper level of a private house, with a great view. Our hosts offered us more than just a place to stay - we enjoyed talking to them in the evenings, and were constantly offered food and coffee. Maria knows a great deal about history and all the landmarks of the island, and helped us plan our brief stay and make it most enjoyable.

One thing to be aware of is that due to steeply pitched pavilion roof if you are over 5' 3" or so tall, you won't be able to stand up straight in the shower, kitchen, or in the bedroom nook. The living area has a high vaulted ceiling.
