A beautiful apartment very close to the center of Agios Nikolaos with all the amenities you could want and an excellent balcony overlooking the sea. There's even an elevator, which is nice if you have a lot of luggage, or after walking up the steep hill from the city on a hot day...

Fotini provided some tasty Cretan bread with olive oil and a bundle of grapes in the refrigerator. She also gave me a detailed overview of all there is to do in the city and in the broader area, leaving behind an annotated map.

There was some confusion with check-in; somehow Fotini got the idea that I had cancelled my reservation, so the room hadn't been cleaned and I didn't hear back from her for a few hours after I contacted her. But once she got into contact, she was apologetic and tried her best to make everything go smoothly. After this first hurdle, she was a great host.

All around, very convenient and a great place to stay while visiting Agios Nikolaos and eastern Crete.
