Stella's place is spacious, beautifully decorated, super clean and very comfortable. It has everything you could need, and more, from bottled water dakos, olive oil and everything to cook your own meals, to amazing soap/gel and shampoo. I had trouble getting the temperature right in the shower, but once I did it was nice to have a rain shower, and bigger than most I've seen on Crete. The balcony is really nice and big, a bit noisier than I'd expect for a quiet side street, but great for people watching! Stella and her mom are so hospitable and friendly, picking me up at the bus station which is about 1 km away, fixing my sunglasses, offering me food when everything was closed Labour day, and providing useful tips on what to see and how to get there. Mires is a good central point to visit Matala, Phaestos, Zaros, Gortys, etc. Sadly buses don't run often. There is only a late afternoon bus back from Matala on weekends. But still doable.
Stella's price is reasonable and you get a lot of value for your money. I really enjoyed my stay!
