At first: The pics do not lie - its exactly as shown in the description. You will stay in an appartement in the heart of Ierapetra day and nightlife. The balcony has a great view. The rooms are clean, the kitchen is well stocked with all you need should you want to cook (but why should you want this with the "Paralia" directly outside your door). All windows and the door to the balcony have fly-screens, so you can choose to sleep with opened windows as an option to air con (in every bed room). If you choose to sleep with air con and shut the windows, you keep almost all noises outside (should you be noise sensitive). The communication with the owner is quicky and reliable - all questions or small requests has been anwered in no time. All in all: For us (2 adults, 2 teenager children) it was the best option to a stay in an hotel and it was worth every Cent! Chapeau to the owner for the very good service: Small hint as last thing: Get up around 6:45am, then go the 25 meters from your door to the sand beach and swim into the sunrise. Great experience!
