We liked a lot our stay at Maria's house. We were welcomed by delicious pastries made by Maria's mother, I even asked for the recipe of the pie :) House is very spacious and very clean, there was plenty of space for 4 of us. There are a lot of things that help traveller - salt, spices, coffee, sugar, oil, toilet paper, etc., so we did not need to buy all those small things. It takes about 7 minutes to get to the nice Falassarna beach by car. There is small shop just around the corner and bigger shops in Kissamos. I would recommend this house for everyone who wants to explore west side of Crete.
