I cannot say enough good things about this place! The apartment itself is just outside of the city so a car is definitely a must if you want to stay here, however if you’re visiting Crete you’re probably going to rent a car anyway. We didn’t rent ours until the next day and Charalampos (he also has a nickname but I’ve forgotten) was kind enough to give us a ride into the city to buy a few groceries.
This is a brand new complex and we were lucky enough to be the first guests to stay in the apartment. We stayed on the top floor and the view of the sea was absolutely stunning! The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need and they even provided some snacks and goodies upon arrival such as juice, water, fresh fruit, bread, jam, butter etc! They have an espresso machine that takes pods and they also provide some instant coffee which you can use to make your own greek frappe since they also have a frothing machine in the kitchen.
The beds are very comfortable and both rooms are complete with closets. The bathroom had lots of fresh towels including pool towels. They even have a little sewing kit should you need! All of the windows have roll down black out shutters that roll down automatically with the flick of a switch, even on the balcony entrances. It’s all very new and modern!
The pool was also PERFECT. They leave a few floaties for guest use and the edge of the pool has a jacuzzi feature if you want to relax. Since there was only us and one other family staying at the apartment, we got the pool to ourselves everyday, it really feels like the whole complex is yours! There’s a separate laundry for each apartment and detergent is provided. They really went above and beyond with this place, we were very impressed!
They left a gift of wine and cheese for us a couple days after our arrival and even gifted us some traditional herbs and cretan honey when we checked out. The host is ALWAYS available and very responsive with any requests or questions we had. He also gave us some really good tips on where to visit on the island. Probably the most attentive host i’ve ever had with Airbnb!
I could go on and on about how amazing our stay was here, if you’re on the fence, JUST BOOK IT! We will definitely be staying here again should we ever come back to Crete. Thank you SO much again!
