Estrella studio was a good alternative to the relentless buzz of Xania's old town where we slept badly due to an all-night disco. The bed in Estrella was comfortable and the neighbourhood relatively quiet. Most dogs in Crete seemed to be kept outside and barking does happen at night. You just have to get used to it. Neighbours and shopkeepers were friendly. A nearby gem of a museum is the former residence of Eletherious Venizelos. Highly recommended. Stella was attentive, generous and genuine. It was a pleasure to meet her
