The studio itself was more than adequate. Large open space and a private terrasse. The beds weren't very comfortable and the wifi was horrible. I'm a writer, so a strong wifi connection is a must-have for me, and I really wasn't impressed with the network strength (but most people don't care about this on holiday so take that with a grain of salt). Good proximity to the "village" (there is no actual village- by far the biggest drawback of Frangokastello is there is literally NOTHING to do). I'm all about an easy and quiet vacation but this was borderline ridiculous. HOWEVER, this is not a reflection of the studio, but the place itself.
The owner and his family were very kind and hospitable. Overall, the studio is exactly what you would expect for the price. I was impressed with the size of the flat, as most rooms in Crete are very small.
BIGGEST PERK: private terrasse and proximity to the beach
