AMAZING all around! The house, the location, and the host are all excellent.
On the house..: Super comfortable, impeccably clean, modern style, everything works well (e.g. lights, AC, water pressure, doors), well appointed (e.g. kitchen items/appliances, towels, linens, bathroom amenities), the pool is well kept and quite large (enough to actually do exercise laps), and it’s got an amazing view or the sea and a green meadow next door.
On the location… It’s only a few minutes walk to a large supermarket, and to a sea-front cafe. By car, Maleme is perfect to explore all the beaches on the west and south, and also Chania plus it’s surroundings. This was a major plus.
On the host, Chara (pronounced “Hara”). Among the best, really. Incredibly friendly, kind (she left food/drink items as welcoming gifts), accommodating, and super efficient/responsive in communications.
Overall, a fantastic stay. Really one of those Airbnb where you’d want too stay a whole month. 100% recommend!
