The house is perfectly located in central Kissamos, on a quiet side street, surrounded by a small green garden, which keeps the apartment pleasantly cool even on a hot summer day, and makes a perfect spot for sipping a coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening.
Everything in the apartment is new and sparkling clean, the bathroom and kitchen modern and fully equipped with everything you need. The bed is very comfortable with clean linings and towels.
My girlfriend was also pleased to find a hairdryer, an iron and even a hair straightener available.
But what impressed us most was the kindness and hospitality of Despina: we have stayed in many places during our travels, but she just raised the airbnb experience to another level!
She gave us a lot of useful information about the region that helped us plan our stay and also took her time to recommend us nice activities and good restaurants.
She was expecting us with the fridge stocked with fruits, cold water, orange juice, milk, raki and a delicious freshly homemade cake!
And this was not all: on our second morning upon waking up, we discovered she had baked an amazing traditional cheese pie (bougatsa), and left it nice and warm on the terrace as a surprise breakfast. On the third day we found an steaming omlete, and on our final day she came to warmly say goodbye with yet another round of delicious pastries.
Her kindness and warmth were overwhelming and we really couldn't find our words to thank her.
Such a lovely hearted host, that we will definitely visit again on our next trip to Crete!
