This is by far the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in, and I am so happy to detail why.
From start to finish, this process has been seamless. In all honesty, the pictures and description of this apartment do not even begin to do it justice. It is beautiful and brand new, with 3 full bathrooms, directly on the beach. There is a beautiful balcony with outdoor furniture, overlooking the water, at which you can view the stunning Cretan sunset every night. Right off the main road in Amoudara, with tons of restaurants, shops, and car rentals, this apartment is perfectly located, 10 minutes from downtown Heraklion.
However, with all that being said, the true treasure in this stay was the overwhelmingly accommodating host. Magdalena and Vasilis sat with us for 20 minutes upon arrival, giving us recommendation after recommendation: places to go, restaurants to try, sights to see etc. After the first recommendation was amazing, we decided to take every one that they gave us, and one was better than the next. Magdalena was always within minutes to respond on whatsapp, anytime day or night.
I cannot speak highly enough of this Airbnb, nor of my stay in Crete. 10/10!!
