Alma's home is the most prepared and most comfortable place I've stayed. It is exceedingly modern with every possible amenity one would need. I stayed here for a week with some friends. And then they stayed another week after I left because it was so nice, and so well built and so thoughtful and comfortable and convenient. Architecturally, the space takes into account the way the light comes in and how air moves through. There are views toward the bay on one side and inland in the direction of the port town where mountains and distant islands lay.
The location is 15 minutes to the port town so you'll want a car to get around. I found this location to be ideal to get to fantastic hikes and beaches. The neighborhood is residential and does not feel inundated by other tourists. I genuinely felt at home and inspired to think about things other than the plans of the journey. I'd have been happy to just hang out at the house (and did indeed do that a bunch) but enjoyed the opportunity to use it as a base for finding awesome places to swim and snorkel and hike and EAT.
All the linens and towels and bedding are new and clean and comfy. Bathrooms are modern and functional and well designed.
Add to this the fact that Alma is an incredible host. She is outgoing helpful, curious, can be laid back if you need space or informative if you need help.
I would never stay elsewhere when in Crete. If you have the opportunity, you should definitely stay here.
