The town of Kissamos and the surrounding beaches and area are very nice. A great vacation spot if you like to road trip around and see a unique part of the Greek islands. The apartment was well finished on the inside and we enjoyed the balcony. However, the apartment is inside an abandoned unfinished building, which isn’t disclosed in the description. The empty shell of a building posed serious safety risks considering that, in the dark of night, you cannot see if there are people/animals hiding inside. Additionally there were chained up aggressive dogs around the property which made for a dangerous walk back to the apartment. The worst part of the stay was unfortunately the host. I expressed all these concerns to her and she was extremely rude and disrespectful. She responded with personal attacks and did not attempt to resolve these issues. I had never experienced such nasty treatment by airbnb host with the use of demeaning language. Overall I would recommend going to western Crete and Kissamos but I’m not so sure about this rental.
