Our host Georgios was super nice! Also his daughter who was super good in serving as our translator from English to Greek :) When we arrived we found a well equipped fridge with water and drinks which felt like heaven after our early flight and 2hr drive. They were very helpful in answering our questions and even went out of their way in helping us deflate a beach-ball to pack in our luggage :)
The apartment was located in a quiet area but just a 10min drive to a lot of amenities. Given the location we definitely recommend that you rent a car as public transport isn't close (although this is something we noted in Crete in general). Nice beaches are close but if you'd like to visit the more popular cities of Chania or beaches such as Elafonisi and Balos note that there is a 2-3hour drive to get there. But if you're like us and are looking for a quiet accommodation away from all the touristic chaos, then this is definitely the place to be!
We will definitely recommend the apartment to anyone who plans to visit Crete!
