We had a good time on Crete island and in Eivind's place. House is big, spacious and good equipped. Beds are confortable and the bedrooms are big enough. Both balconies were lovely and suitable for having breakfast or dinner. Pool was clean and big enough for some swimming. You need definitely a car to explore the island and its beautiful beaches but you need it also to get supplies for the house. Villa is high in the mountain with only 1 minimarket nearby. The city is only about 6-7 km away but you need to drive at least 15 minutes to get there. Roads are well maintained but narrowed. Last 50-100 meters before the house the road is rocky, so you need to drive carefully.
We arrived earlier on 21st of September and found out that the house is not cleaned from the last guests' stay. It turned out that the cleaning lady hasn't been informed for our stay. Eivind's neighbour Jane called her and she came almost immediately. Despite our earlier arrival we had to wait 1 or 2 hours after the dedicated check- in hour to enter the house. Eivind didn't respond to any of my messages after we arrived on Crete island. They werent exactly questions but I expected a reply after I said that the house wasn't clean on our arrival. This was the single thing I didn't like about the host. Single disadvantage of the house is the location - remote from the city, although this could also be advantage for some people.
