Georgios is the friendliest airbnb host I have ever encountered! I felt very welcome in this beautifully decorated and clean apartment. The view of the ocean and sound of the waves was wonderful. I was so happy to be able to do some laundry when I arrived as I’d been sailing for the week prior to arriving.
The following is not a criticism as much as pointing out a few crucial details that I overlooked. There is no air conditioning, which is accurately listed, but I overlooked that when booking. I trust that this is fine most of the year, but I visited during a very hot time in August 2021 and was rather hot sleeping at night.
Without AC I needed to keep the patio doors by the bed wide open all night. I also couldn’t sleep in much of anything to stay cool enough. This wouldn’t be a problem except that the apartment is on the ground floor, so I felt a little bit exposed as a solo female traveler.
These paranoid fears of someone seeing me and entering my room at night are coming from my experience in the United States, which is not a very safe country. That being said, Crete in general and the location of this apartment felt very safe and so I was able to relax and enjoy myself anyways. I am mentioning it in case someone else prefers more privacy and would not like the ground floor.
