This is a great little studio for budget travellers wanting to get away from the crowds and noise of Heraklion. It's like living at a friends place. We didn't actually meet George as he was away when we were there but he responded promptly to correspondence. Nikos (George's dad) was there and he definitley made our stay the best it could have been, helped us with rental car hire (got a discount price from his friend!), took us out to dinner, helped us with shopping, and was generally a fantastic host. He helped us out with any questions that needed answering (and we had a few of them!), even though his English was very limited. The only problems that I can forsee for other travellers here is that is not a central location, we had a car so it wasn't a problem, however if you wanted to be close to the centre of Heraklion, the bus station/ferry etc you have to rely on lifts there. Also ensure that you make VERY specific plans with your airport pick up as we had a miscommunication initially and waited approx 3 hours at the airport for a pick up, almost giving up entirely and seeking out alternative accommodation. Other than that I would definitely stay here again - make sure you explore the gorge at the end of the road (Karteros gorge)!!
