Very nice place, really big apartament (imho big enought for even two familes) and the view from the terrace - absolutely amazing! 5 minutes to the pebble beach (water shoes needed)- after high season almost private :) the store with basic products just near to the apartament, as well as small car rental/excursions and bus stop.
Calm neightbourhood at least in September, but walking distance, around 20 minutes (or 5 minutes by car) to the small Kolympari town with few nice tavernas near the see.
Disadvantages of the apartment - none :) of the area - basic products like milk and beer :p seem to be expensive in comparison with other part of the Crete, or even other towns near, I don't know why. But you can just go shopping someplace else.
