I hesitated a lot before giving only one star. I did it because I want potential visitors to know what they should expect when renting this place : the house is really difficult to access through a very steep, narrow road with a big turn just above the cliff and direct access to the main road leading to Heraklion, with the need to cross a white line to turn left.
A SUV is absolutely necessary (we rented a large sedan - not a good idea).
Someone who is afraid of heights should not rent this place. I could not drive in and out because I was really scared and this is the first time such a thing happens to me, as I'm quite a good driver in a normal situation. I felt as if I was a prisoner in this house, I could not go out just to do some grocery shopping without my husband. I hated it, as I am quite an independent person.
Of course, if you are not afraid of heights, the house is very beautiful, very spectacular views, very nice and friendly hosts. If it weren't for the road, I would give it five stars. It's just not the right place for some people, including me, so I'm warning you.
