The apartment is really great, it has everything one may need and it is literally 20 metres from the beach, parking inside is also a nice benefit. Angela was a great host, waited for us on our check-in day, even though we got there a bit later and was also at our disposal for everything we may have needed and once even brought us fresh home-grown oranges. We visited Crete first week of October, weather was a bit too windy in the beginning, but when you rent a car, it's no so difficult to find a beach protected from the wind (Marathi is a great choice) and in this time of the year there are not so many tourists, but it's still warm, so it's a definite recommend.
