The apartment is nice, spacious and cozy. Close to the beach, supermarket and restaurants.
BUT
From the start, there was something rather unpleasant in our communication with our host. A day before our arrival we asked for instructions. Our host gave us an address for google map and promised to be at the location for check-in. We arrived in the middle of an unexpected rain storm. the address was not accurate enough and there was no sign on the property itself. There was no one there to welcome us and the host didn't answer phone or whatsup. We sat in our car, looking at the rain and asking ourselves what to do...
after several minute, someone showed up. I think he was the owner's father, but he spoke almost no English. He took me to the apartment, gave me a 10 second tour and disappeared, without even lending me an umbrella. we ran with our stuff through the rain and were soaking wet by the time we managed to get inside. There was no instruction page in the apartment or anything like that. The owner herself never showed up and only communicated with us through airbnb email (that was a problem by itself because the Wi Fi single was very weak and tended to disconnect).
We asked if there is a way to dry our clothes, we asked for covers for the blankets... all we got is massages with short sentences that more or less told us to get by by ourselves...
at the end, due to a storm alert in Crete, we decided to leave earlier and spend the last night close to Heraklion airport. Since we had to pay for a night in a hotel we asked the owner not to charge us for the night we didn't "use". Our request was denied.
to conclude: the accommodation was OK. But for me, Airbnb is not just about finding accommodation. It's about Reaching out, about getting in touch. It's about hospitality and friendliness. Since all these were lacking, I can't recommend staying at Marsia Gianna’s place.
