First off Maria is probably the best host in all of Crete! She's super responsive to all her messages and will make sure everything is okay for you when you get there. She even picked me up from the airport! She's the absolutely sweetest! Her place is super spacious and clean!! It's literally 10 mins away from the airport and a 15 min bus ride to downtown from the bus stop down the hill from her place. If you need an inexpensive place to stay and want to stay with someone who will treat you like family stay with Maria!! Just an overall amazing experience!
