Roses house is amazing. We stayed 6 nights and enjoyed every moment, the house is very clean and tidy and very comfortable also well equipped with all utensils etc.
The neighbour Katarina is as my wife says is lovely, about an hour after arrival she drop by with a bag of fresh tomatoes from her garden and a bowl of delicious pasta for a welcoming lunch.
The house has a flat roof that you can sit and have meals on and take in the amazing view across olive groves and vineyard to the sea and Heraklion in the distance. All the local people in the village are friendly if they can understand you.
You need a car for getting about, the instruction that Rose supplied were easy to follow as long as you don't rely on a GPS. If you have a GPS to assist with your travel in Crete use it with some discretion as may end up in a remote village drinking raki with the locals.
