We just loved the appartment. Communication was easy. The appartment is bright and extremely cozy (Ioved the porthole windows). It is equipped with everything you need (blankets, towels, basic kitchen equipment etc.). There could be a bit more cuttlery though and fancy cooking might proove difficult (there is however no need for that as there are dozens of good restaurants within walking distance). Of course the best about the apparment is the location right at the beach with a beautiful private balcony and a larger terrace that is shared with one or two other appartments. You literally walk 30 seconds to the beach, which is beautiful to swim and has some spots to snorkel as well. There are countless beach bars and restaurants right at the beach, which were, however, quiet at night. Everything else you need is also in less than five minutes walking distance (bakeries, supermarkets etc.). Parking is not possible directly at the appartment, but you can easily park in 7 minutes walking distance. The apparment is located around 50 m off the "main street" (rather a pedestrian area with many restaurants and shops and without heavy traffic), so it feels very quiet and private. The balcony is sunny in the evening and the mornings, but shady at noon, which is perfect, because the sun in Crete can be really stong. The only thing I want to mention is that if you are a very light sleeper you might be disturbed by the sound of the sea (depending on the weather it can be quite loud even with closed windows) although it did not disturb us. In my opinion this is a really special place and I can do nothing but fully recommend it.
