The studio was exactly as it looked in the photos, and it was fabulous having a view of the sea and being 20 seconds away from the beach! It's a bit of a walk to the bus station but Crete is the kind of place where it's much easier to get round if you have a car anyway so if you want to see more of the island, hire a car. You have to turn on the hot water via a switch in the hallway just outside the apartment door but the water was really hot and the water pressure fantastic. The studio felt like being a nice hotel and the mattress was probably the most comfortable I've ever slept in in my entire life - if I could buy the same one to have at home, I would!
