This host should become an instant Super Super Platinum host! Given we were their first ever reservation, he met us at the bus station in Rethymno and had already organized a taxi to escort us to the home. And then the magic started! This house is absolutely breathtaking..., from the vista, to the decor, to the overall layout. Nothing has gone amiss. Fresh fruit and bread, a refrigerator stocked with pantry essentials and Nikos was always available at the end of the phone for any query big or small.
Suddenly our next AirBnB reservation after this stay turned very dark and the host of that place was the complete opposite of Nikos and the night before told me that the reservation had to be cancelled. Without a single question, Nikos agreed to house us for the extra nights - he deserves nothing but a bright future hosting his amazing home, here in Astipopolous which happens to be a beautiful full amenity village!
This luxurious home has left a very special place in my heart and left my children with fond memories of Crete. It has been very memorable to have been treated like family when traveling solo as a woman with children in tow. Thank you very very much Nikos! I most definitely hope that we meet again.....
