It is understandable why Athina is a super host. The apartment is lovely and centrally located, hence its name “Central Lovely Home.” Athina provided me with a blender on request and even left a liter of almond milk in the fridge to make smoothies. I was met on arrival by her husband who explained where everything was in the apartment, the ground floor of a private house with its own private patio with lots of plants, a bit too cold to use in February but pleasant to look at. He gave me a good plasticized map and indicated where everything was on it, including things and places that I personally was interested in, where to catch the public bus to Knossos, a 5 minute walk from the apartment, and the bus station to get a bus to Chania, Rethymno and almost everywhere else on the island, a 15 minute walk from the apartment. There’s info and recommendations on where to eat and where to shop for food. The apartment is well appointed, nicely decorated and very clean, really a great place.
