The house is beautifully finished and decorated. As other reviewers have said, it is even better than the photos. There are two balconies (one with a hammock), on the first and second floors with sea views. The kitchen is really well equipped. Alexandra and her dad, Nikos, were very welcoming and helpful, giving us a lift to the house when we arrived on the ferry and leaving some of their own wine for us too. We did not have a car and the house is more than four minutes walk from town. It is more like a 15-20 minute walk, depending on which part of town you want to go to. And 10-15 minutes to the beach, depending on which end you want to go to. This involves 5-10 minutes of a steep uphill when going back to the house. This wasn't a problem in October, but might be hard work in the height of summer. Taxis from town cost €5 (we had 4 passengers). But once you know that the house is a bit out of town and on a hill, the location itself is lovely, the planting around the house is gorgeous and the house itself is stunning. We are delighted that we stayed there. It was the whole family's favourite place to stay during our holiday in Crete.
