Although communication prior to our arrival was very inconsistant, we still got the directions before we arrived in Crete. We rented the ground floor appartement at the back of Manos's restaurant. It is comfortable, except for few things: the shower curtain doesnt keep the water flow inside the shower. Consequently, weting the floor all over. Also, we felt like the kitchen was missing a few pieces ( only had 1 stick knife and one butter knife, 2 forks...). You need to be an early bird to stay at Manos' place: mornings can get pretty busy. We had the dog locked up in an outside fenced gallery right next to our window, and we could hear him bark in the morning. Plus the noises from the food delivery to Manos's restaurant can get disturbing. Besides, the familly really insists on turning off the air conditionning while you leave for the day, so you are coming home to a very humid place. The private beach shown in the pictures was very dissapointing. As we were early in the season, the ride was high, making it impossible to enjoy the water. Also It is very close from the restaurant's terrace, making it a little akward when heading down as we have to go trough it. The mother of Manos was very attentive to our needs, as It is a familly business. Also you should drop by the restaurant for a meal and nice drinks. Plus, the spices and vegetables are organic and grown in the garden next to the restaurant! We highly recommand that you rent a car as Hersonissos is a very tourist place and there's not much to do once you've walked down both the main and beach roads.
