The flat is modern and well equipped, and was spotless clean. There is a small touristy supermarket 100mt away, and a few more near the beach, however prices are high so you might prefer to stock up in the Lidl which you will find on your way from Heraklion airport. We always managed to find free parking available in front of the church next to the place. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the balcony to have breakfast with a seaview - however this might not be possible in the middle of summer, or if you are very sensitive to the sun, as there is no shade on this side of the building nor enough space for a parasol. The owner lives in the flat on the same floor and was always on hand to answer queries or even proactively anticipate issues, while giving us maximum privacy. He gave us plenty of advice about things to do in the area and even left some homemade flavoured raki for us - a very nice touch. Overall I would highly recommend this place to young / middle aged couples, as I mentioned it might not be great for older people or solo female travellers due to the fact that the road that leads to the beach / village is steep and relatively isolated.
