We have spent 9 days in Stefania's house and we really enjoyed every single day of our stay. The hospitality of Stefania and especially her parents who live next door was overwhelming - so that our five year old boy didn't wanted to leave.
The house is really nice and clean and especially our children enjoyed it to feed the animals of the farm or to pick up some fresh eggs.
If you have a car the location of the apartment is perfect in order to check out the Western part of Crete (Falassarna (25 min), Balos, Elafonissi (45) or Chania(30)). Kaloudiana has a very nice tavern and two small super markets and you can reach all of them by walking one or two minutes. The nearest beach is five minutes away by car - but you can also visit many more within 5 or 15 minutes by car.
But as you can go so easily to so many places, the house is situated on one of the main roads to Elafonissi - so there can be some traffic. But this is only important if you are thinking about letting your kids walking around on their own.
