The house was exactly as we imagined it. Stone and traditional appeal add to the unique experience. It is situated in an agricultural and peaceful area of the island with mostly locals around, which was great in our opinion, far from crowds and mediocracy. Keep in mind that you have to travel more than 40-50 minutes to the nearest beaches, though. However, it is super close to Heraklion and Knosos.
Ioannis was a great host. He waited for us until very late during the night, because our flight was delayed.
The top bedroom is a bit hot, but the first floor is nice even without an air-conditioning, because the house is made of stone and is in the montains.
