The accommodation was as presented in the photos. A lot of space, a big balcony. Kitchen, bath room and beds were absolutely alright. There was a TV with a lot of channels, but I didn't use it. Wifi worked, that was important. Matina could always be contacted if needed and she was, along with her parents, a very welcoming host.
To get there and to get around you need a car (or a bicycle, if you are that sporty; met a group of french travellers that explored eastern Crete that way).
Xerocampos - in January - was what I was looking for. Nice beaches not even one minute from the house, warm enough during the day, very quiet and a lot of nature and some archaeological sites that can easily be reached.
