We can highly recommend staying with George and Claire. We stayed in the villa which is next to apartments. Both buildings are great. Apartment building looks awesome - beautiful design, absolutely top garden, excellent location and view to the bay. Villa is less attractive but you have your privacy. You have an access to shared pool. The clean and well cared pool is middle sized and good enough even when more people around. I think the pool is must-have in hot summer. The sea shore is just 5 minutes downhill but pool gives you luxury of cooling down whenever you want. The villa is large. We were family of 4 but even 6 people can stay there comfortably. Full bathroom with WC is upstairs (small but sufficient), half bathroom with WC downstairs. There are three (!) large balconies/terraces in the villa! Master bedroom upstairs has a large balcony with seats. Drinking wine every night with a view on the bay is a great experience. We had breakfast and dinners every day on the terrace you walk to from kitchen/living room. There is a table and chairs for four and again: with view to the sea. The villa has its own private garden including hidden sunbathing area (no unwanted eyes). If you go to the bay for swimming in the sea or dinning or to a bar, its only 5 minutes. If you return, it is really uphill but nothing unbearable. There are two small groceries around. If you need larger selection, go to Heraklion to Sklaventis shop (it is huge). George is very helful and will give you a list of shops incl. map coordinates via WhatsApp. There are many tavernas 5 minutes from villa. Make your selection using Tripadvisor are ask George for help. We recommend to rent a car (there is a parking place just next to villa). It is much easier to go to the next village are explore the island especially if you stay 2 or more weeks. George can help you with renting. I recommend it as there are dozens and dozens small renting companies that can be predatory to tourists. Lastly, I recommned to buy fresh fish (there is a selection in Sklaventis, they will clean the fish for you for free) and grill it in the outdoor grill in the villa garden. Grid is there, just buy 5 kg of charcoal and voila!
