’ve used Airbnb all over the world and it will be tough for anyone to match the standard that Dimitrios sets in his splendid house / apartment.
You have a private first floor aparment which doesn’t share anything with the floor below, except for a direct view from a magnificient balcony. The house has everything you may need including a lot of basic groceries and some stuff for the beginning which eases up the arrival as the local shopping options are limited and it’s better to drive to Heraklion.
We fitted in well as two families with four young children, the place didn’t feel crowded at all. The pool is a nice benefit, but the direct entrance to the beach is something that gets you a lot of envious looks from the people walking nearby. For shopping we rented a single car which we ended up not using at all except for the bigger groceries shopping - the beach is great for kids if you walk a bit further (we’re talking under 5 mins of walking here), the restaurants are nice and the staff is very friendly.
But the greatest experience you’ll get is Dimitrios himself - he makes himself available pretty much 24/7 and makes it his personal goal to make you enjoy the house, the beach and even Crete in general. And this happens even in the crazy COVID times.
I would be more than happy to return anytime and probably will :)
