The flat is very very comfortable: great beds, strong wifi, strong air conditioning, a beautiful balcony where you can see turtles swimming in the lake. Maria is so incredibly nice and helpful. She has great suggestions and is just a wonderful host. She even helped accommodate us for a bit longer when she had new bookings coming in. Everywhere to eat and see is within minutes of the flat. While we recommend a car for finding quieter beaches and to see more scenery in Crete, there are lovely beaches within a short walk. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely eat at Piato--one of Maria's recommendations as well.
