Andreas' family was lovely, welcoming and kind to us. I loved this house! The home is beautifully decorated and supplied with everything you need. It was very clean and seemed professionally decorated... Fruit, cookies, local wine, fully equipped kitchen (the kitchen was my favorite room!) and even a Cretan lyre (the instrument !) in a bedroom. No washing machine but I was happy to use the large basin in kitchen and hang clothes on the line outside. Shops/restaurants are not too far to walk to, and we also walked to town to avoid parking issues. While it is near shops and town, the home still feels peaceful and quiet when you are home. No air conditioning and no screens on windows, so something to maybe take into account given the season/temperatures and your blood type.
