I've spent an incredible month in this beautiful and newly renovated cottage which has all one might need during a short or long-term stay. A washing machine is a big plus as well as air conditioning without additional charge. The kitchen appliances are fully functional, I was even able to bake! :-)
Everything was spotlessly clean.
Ioanna and her son were very helpful and answered all my questions immediately. Even though I did not meet them in person, the check in was very easy as I've received clear instructions and a google maps location link prior to my arrival. The neigheighborhood is very calm and safe as are the neighbors which are incredibly friendly especially the lady which lives in the house upfront. She offered me cucumbers from her own garden. The apartment itself is well stocked. I was treated to many different spices, coffee and a bottle of water as well as some cold beer. My favorite place was the big and beautiful terrace and garden where you can sit and enjoy your mornings and evenings away from traffic and loud noises (NO dogs barking!), a real small paradise to yourself.
All windows are protected by fly screens, even the entrance door, so you'll not be troubled by mosquitos at all. The water pressure in the shower is simply amazing (very strong!) which is not a given in Crete. There is a small mini market just down the street to your left, a 2 min. walk from the house where you can get your morning cappuccino and catch a bus, though I'd strongly recommend a car to be more independent.
Ioanna and Petros are very kind people and checked in with me regularly during my stay. I'd highly recommend staying in this apartment anytime to anyone who enjoys the quiet, beautiful nature, true greek hospitality away from mass tourism. A real home away from home. Thank you for everything Ioanna and Petros :-)
