Giannis's place is huge, we are a family of four and felt like we were in an empty castle! Very clean, open plan, tiled floors, two levels, three bedrooms. All bedrooms upstairs so if you of limited mobility, not the easiest. Giannis was a very sweet host, he left us water, a huge fruit bowl, raki (the nicest we tasted in Crete), laundry detergent,...and he made himself available if we needed him during our stay.
The location of the house is quiet and residential but not isolated, there are neighbors all round and despite their barky dogs, they seemed kindly (old ladies would wave across the wall to our children). It's a good 15 minute walk to the beaches on streets without footpaths so again, if you have limited mobility, take note. Visitors should understand that Stavros is not a town with a central square etc. but is instead an area of houses with a cluster of restaurants by the beach. The walk from Giannis's house was not a problem for us going back and forth to the beach but might have been difficult with our bags on arrival and departure except that Giannis kindly met us from the bus and drove us to the house and then collected us at the end and drove us back to the bus. Visitors here should ideally have a car but again, not essential.
The two main shops in Stavros are just 5 minutes from the house and are conveniently on the route to the beach.
I highly recommend this place in its own right and on account of the very nice host.
