This is a nice place with great beach location just steps from the apartment. We enjoyed amazing views of the sun setting! Michael’s place was clean and as described. Katerina was superb in communicating within moments to any questions we had. We are a family of four and had our privacy also. Loved the washing machine as it allowed us to wash our clothes and hang dry on the veranda - the veranda wall is high enough with opaque glass so that your neighbors or passersby can’t see what’s on there. Unbeknownst to us, there is a fantastic bakery literally next door from where we bought fresh bread daily and bouyatsa! Yummmmm! My boys were in heaven. The minimart, which sold fresh eggs and had everything under the sun was another great convenience with extended hours 7 days a week.
You have the option of walking into town; but, we had a rental car since it allowed us to go everywhere - we drove to The Central Market area and the Old Venetian Harbor, Elafonissi, Agia Marina, Kissamos Port for the Balos/Gramvoussa cruise, Herakleio and Agios Nikolaos. There is PLENTY of parking. Definitely, easy access to the main highways. This place was only about 15 minutes from the airport.
