Overall: 7 Star experience. MORE Than an AirBNB. The host and his family makes such pleasant experience by their personal touch that you leave this home with being part of their family. Our experience with Mihails house as well as his family has been a thing to cherish for life.
About the House:
Location: please use the Google Link provided by the host to reach this destination. Mihail was so very nice that he came all 5.5 km to pick us us up , as our car gps landed us in a wrong village. he later shown us how to find the location easily. The location is so perfect that it allows you to access complete island with a national highway accessible right in 3 minutes of driving distance, avoiding complete traffic of busy Heraklion city.
Around the House: Supermarkets, shops, ATMs, fantastic Restaurants and Taverns are just 2 minute of walking distance. Fantastic and safe beach for kids is at just 3 to 5 minutes of walk. Pizzeria around the corner and restaurant Volkano is a must try.
Safety: the house is located in very safe place. the street is like an end and hence no other traffic comes in.
About the House: I would say HOME and not just a Airbnb accomodation. The house is more beautiful than it looks in pictures. So well maintained by the family. Mihails Dad takes care of the garden. and his Mom gives it a perfect touch by her handicrafts. She also surprised us by a welcome gift (a cake she baked for us, olive oil from their own farm, wein and special drink Raki). What we liked is every small detail of the house are taken care so well for the comfort of the guests. In our view, it couldnt be any more perfect than this.
Mihail and his parents took every care as we were with kids.
As we left this house with another family added to our relations, I can say this is more than just a AirBNB. An unforgettable and marvelous stay in Crete because of Mihail and his family and their house. Also, a big thanks to Mihail and his parents to come all the way for a picture with us on our request.
