George and his assistant Xanthi were very welcoming - warm friendly people, and greeted us with a nice bottle of raki. The apartment was just as advertised - ideal for our purposes, clean, comfortable, great value and a pretty good location for the price. It's a bit of a walk to the city centre, about an hour ambling slowly along the sea front/ beach, but worth the walk as the old town is gorgeous. Because we were there out of season quite a lot of the tourist bars , tavernas, shops in the immediate area were shut, but everything we needed was available. Our children were very happy because of the dozens of cats in the neighborhood and in Crete generally. The only thing between the apartment block and the beach is a roughly tarmacked basketball court which the local kids use to play football. We and our son ended up playing with them every evening.
