Marias place is great! We really enjoyed our stay there and we recommend it without any hesitation. It was very nice of Maria that she gave us greeting gift which was a basket of local products, and some grear local dishes, such as Musaka made by her mother:) The apartament is very clean, spacious, and properly equipped (the kitchen has really all you need). Air conditioning is in every room, and working good. The beach is just across the street, and some other, even nicer beaches are in a walking distance. This place is also conveniently located for those who want to explore Crete by car (you can park it for free near the apartament).
