PLUSES
1. We were welcomed with deliciuos homemade meal.
2. Nikos is a very nice, helpful host. He gave us a lot of information about great places to visit and to eat. All his recomendations vere very good.
3. He was very communicative and he answered all our questions before and during our stay. He helped us look for information when needed.
4. The house is very beautiful. It is old and traditional and has a really unique Cretan atmosphere.
5. The location of the house is fantastic. You can easily get to all the famous beaches (Falasarna, Elafinissi, Balos) and some more that only Nikos knows :) You can also easily go to the mountains for hiking or go to beautiful Chania.
6. For all wine lovers - this house is located in the centre between all nicest Cretan wineries.
7. All needed infrastructure - shops, restaurants, pharmacies, doctors - are nearby.

MINUSES
1. The house is not comfortable. The furniture is old and there is not one cosy place to seat and relax with book or a glass of wine.
2. The apartment needs cleaning. Especially kitchen and bathroom. Unblocking drains and scrubing everything ahould be done immediately.
3. All the blankets, catpers, pillows, seats etc. need washing. Also chairs and sunbeds on the terraces.
4. The bedding (quilts, pillows etc.) have not been washed for a long time too. To my opinion they shuld be exchanged to sth new and more comfy.
5. We could not use the beds on the top floor because there was some dirt constantly falling on them from the ceiling. We reported that, but nobody came. We slept all in 1 bed for the whole week (my husband and I with our daughter).
6. The kitchen is poorly equipped. Everything there is old and used. There are no basics like trash bin or sugar. It is ok., when You come with party people that eat out all the time. But it is a problem when You are with small children for whom You have to prepare food at home too.
7. The house is leaky - there are gaps in doors, windows, there is one window glass missing - monstrous amounts of mosquitos and other insects get inside, which You cannot prevent.

Anyway. In spite of all the minuses we had a great time there. But still I believe those things should be improved. And as much as I liked Nikos, I think he should take care of all that.
I recommend this place for group of young friends that came to travel and party. But to my opinion, You can find much better family locations for the same money (this was our third house on Crete).
