Great house we have shared with friends, we were 4 adults and 4 kids. The house was big enough for all of us. Super nice when the weather was good as it is clearly a house for hot season, with nice garden, lemon trees, and swimming pool! We were not lucky the first days with cold weather, and we had 2 cold nights in the house.
We could visit Chania (1h20) and the south of the island, very nice! But every site to visit is at least 40 min, you have to be ready to drive in Crete!
Small remark on the house location: you have to take a very small alley to reach the house with a tricky 90° turn, a big car can't go there (we had a Golf, it was really just ok).
