This place is an absolute dream. The hosts were incredible, Andrie kindly helped us book our transfers to and from the airport upon request. Check-in was super easy, we were given all the information we needed upon arrival regarding the apartment and the local area, which is super helpful for people visiting Crete for the first time. One of these things was that the tap water is good for drinking, typically when you go abroad we're told to stick to bottled water, but we drank the tap water and it was sooo refreshing, we just filled up plastic water bottles and put them in the freezer overnight so they stayed cold for longer while sunbathing on the beach. Very clean apartment, extra blankets in the wardrobes if needed.
There was bottled water in the fridge left by the hosts which is lovely. The balcony was beautiful to sit on in the mornings and evenings, very big with a lovely view. It has an outdoor tap to hose off any sandy shoes/clothes, and a clothes airer to put swimwear/towels out to dry. The bathroom was clean, shower did the job and there was a washing machine available with detergent if needed. The beds were comfortable and the aircon was easy to use and worked with no issues. It's perfect for friend holidays (I was there with two girlfriends) but would also be super ideal for a smaller family or a couple. The area is quiet, the beach is a stone's throw away, literally 1 minute walk, if that. Loads of food places alongside the beach, great for breakfast or lunch. For dinner, I recommend the 12 minute walk into Old Town, it is SO beautiful there in the evening, the shops are open until late, everyone is out getting dinner and ice-cream, the vibes are immaculate, especially at sunset.
We were there for 4 nights and I couldn't recommend this apartment enough. Great value for money, friendly and helpful hosts, incredible location and a super clean, modern but homely apartment ✨
