The apartment is nice, clean and offers quite some space.
The kitchen has everything you need.
The host was very nice and communication fine.
The apartment is close to the beach (10mn walk) but the neighborhood is not the prettiest in the world.
The area is windy and a metallic sound was bothering us sometime during the night (still very soft).
To conclude, I recommend the place. The cleanliness, the space in the apartment and it's localization are good arguments.
You'll then be able to visit the south of the island where all major sites are not far: Phaestos, Gortyne, Matala...
