If you want to have an authentic Cretan experience in a home with traditional accents, manos' house is the one! Excellent location to explore the Heraklion / Lasithi regions, only 10 minutes by car from Agios Nicolaos (where you must not miss his restaurant, Gioma Meze) and 5 min by car from Voulisma Beach ( awsome). The house had all the amenities we needed; very beautiful garden that has also a gazebo set up for barbecuing; I appreciated the attention to detail. Excellent communication with the host, he answered our questions promptly and expressed his willingness to provide support in anything. a funny thing was the fact that at the beginning of our stay we were scared by the barking of the dog that lives in the neighboring garden (above) not knowing if it could reach our garden, but it got used to us and everything was fine (the dog didn't has a way to get to Manos' house).
