Maria’s home is beautiful, totally worth the price, and she was so gracious throughout our stay. The view was beautiful, and beach was really nice . The only thing I’d note— and this is through no fault of the house — is that during the off season the town is quite desolate, with not many things to do. There was only one restaurant open, and the supermarket. So just make sure that if you come during the off season you have a car or some way to go into Heraklion or more populated towns. Though overall, a great house, host, and I would recommend Maria to anyone.
