This was our first air bnb experience and we were all very impressed. Kostas was very responsive with clear information and suggested a very reasonable car hire company. He provided information before we booked, replied to every email immediately after we booked and his colleague Sophia looked after us whilst we were in Crete. Manolis is the property owner and the villa is amazing. It is perfect for a group of people and we spent hours by the pool taking in the beautful views and making use of the outdoor kitchen (which is fully equipped to the point that we didn't even touch the indoor kitchen). The infinity pool is beautiful and looks amazing at sunset and lit up during the night. The property is immaculate and the cleaner properly cleaned during our stay (as in cleaned floors and changed beds not just changed towels). Manolis was vey accommodating and even did a shop for us before we got there including home made olive oil. We spent many an hour drinking g&ts by the pool with handpicked lemons from the Orchard (!). We would strongly recommend that you hire a car: The drive from the airport is very easy (about 1 hour 20 drving slowly)and it will save on expensive taxi rides in and out of the town or to beaches further afield. The old town is lovely with plenty of restaurants to choose from- we had a very posh dinner at avli and enjoyed every mouthful but there are plenty of cheaper places to eat that looked just as good. We loved our stay here and we are planning our return trip! Thank you Manolis and Kostas and Sophia
