Exceeded expectations. Cleanliness was exceptional. Everything is brand new. If you would like to visit a few different places on your visit to crete, this location is perfect. You can easily drive to beaches on south coast and north coast and explore - or you can stay local. The house allows a lot of privacy, inside and outside. The village of Spili is on your doorstep and has plenty of options for coffees, pastries, dinner etc. You will have to entire place to yourself and there is a security gate which gives you extra outdoor privacy. If you are visiting in summer and you like airconditioning inside, the air conditioning units work very well throughout the house. It is freshly renovated and a big bonus was having 2 brand new bathrooms with excellent water pressure for showers. Nikos and his mother were very generous and welcoming. They stocked the fridge with a few items before our arrival, including a dinner for us on the first night, they brought over more items and left them at the door one time during our stay, and even brought us a goodbye gift.
