Nikos was a really good host. He responded fast all the time and did let us know some great local restaurants and attractions to visit. All the Greeks we met were kind and nice, but Nikos was the best! He made us feel like we were staying at long-lost friend's house. The place is exactly the same as the photo. We had a car so the location was okay. But it might be a little difficult if you have to use public transportation. I recommend you rent a car to see all the pretty places in Crete and stay here!
