Me and my girlfriend spent our twelve-day holidays in Phalasarna at Nick´s apartment and we both agree that our stay was one of the best AirBNB-experiences that we´ve ever had. Nick and his wife were super friendly and very welcoming from the very beginning. The communication was easy and the check-in went smoothly even though we arrived late in the night.
The flat is super tidy and very well equipped. Especially the kitchen offers everything you need, Nick even gifted us a bottle of his fantastic self-made olive oil. Every room has an air conditioner and the beds are indeed very comfortable. As you see on the pictures, the house is surrounded by olive trees and the balcony offers a fantastic view on the sea including breath-taking sun sets. You can reach the beautiful Phalasarna beach in approx. 15min by feet or 5min by car and other beautiful places like Balos, Elafonisi and the Samaria Gorge are easily reachable by car as well ( you will need a rental car when coming to Phalasarna!).
Nick is what truly describes a superhost. When we arrived in the evening, we found fresh fruits and cake made by his wife in our fridge. Moreover, he invited us to have dinner with him three times during our stay, where we could enjoy his delicious meals and talk with about the history of Crete, his farm and all kinds of other things that we were interested in.
To put it in a nutshell, I highly recommend staying at Nick´s place when you are planning to have a relaxing holiday in Crete. Greetings from Sophie and me Nick and all the best!
