I can't praise this Air B+B highly enough, or the help and communication from Nadine the agent.
It is rustic but airy well appointed three bedroom and three storey house, with nice lighting and views, especially from the upstairs. The rooms are all white which helps enhance the light. The kitchen was adequate for basic cooking though there was no grill or microwave and we didn't really expect either. The main bathroom was lovely and the other two not bad. All of the rooms had plenty of electrical sockets and all three bedrooms had balconies and the we ate and spent time on the top floor one, which was spacious and had a table and chairs plus a hammock. It has a nice lounge television but as we don't speak Greek we didn't use this as we couldn't find any English speaking channels.
The air conditioning was really reliable and in all rooms, though you have to be careful not to use too many high voltage appliances at once or the fuse box does trip.
The icing on the cake for me and my Step Son was the Table Football which we played on most nights. Great fun.
Although there were only three of us there is sleeping space for six and then the sofa.
One warning though, be careful going up the stairs as it's really easy to hit your head on one side or shoulder on the other, or both if you ricochete as I did once. I took it slowly from then on and I was fine.
Finally, there is plenty to do in the local area with lots of beaches bars and restaurants and nice villages nearby. Heraklion is about one and a quarter hours away and Phaistos fairly local. I would strongly recommend hiring a car though as without one access would be quite tricky as we rarely saw buses except in the towns.
We had a lovely time and would really recommend not only this Air B+B but also Crete as a wonderful holiday destination.
