Μαρία was lovely and made us feel at home straight away giving us some great ideas on things to do and some delicious Cretan food to try! We rented a car and were able to park right outside the location and found it very easy to get to (driving for Heraklion). The place is a great base for exploring west Crete: Chania, Balos and Elafonisi were all comfortable day trips (with a car) and we foundthat Kissamos (along the beach at least) had more charm that we had expected! The place is very close to everything in Kissamos itself.

The loft itself was perfect. One of the verandas was shaded and secluded whilst the other was open to the sun and looking out on the neighbourhood so you could pick to suit your mood! The loft was nice and private: it didn't feel like there was a house below but we were also made to feel welcome and that we could ask Μαρία anything if needed. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook if we weren't eating out. Comfy bed and the loft generally felt cosy.

Would definitely recommend and/or go back ourselves!
