the host wasnt there to welcome me and although this place is ideal for exploring the mountains area, the photos are slightly misleading. you must be aware that you r in fact renting a room and not a private apartment. i must say the bathroom was in perfect condition, and bed was comfortable, but i stayed in amazing places in crete for better prices, the room was a little drab and depressing, to be honest, since you have no real window save for a tiny one, since you are in the basement of a private home. the views from the garden are really nice but be mindful you are not in the center of the village of zaros, not walking distance anyway, and the photos give you the impression that you have a view of the garden, in fact, you don't really have a view at all. it probably would have been a better experience if the host could have been present and if i hadn't arrived at 11pm in an unfamiliar place. i didnt have any issues but the photos were misleading. the garden was beautiful but shared, and the host was helpful by phone but the experience was a little dissapointing for my first night travelling alone in crete.
