We were three guys visiting Crete for the first time - and it was the best, especially because of our stay at Maria's apartment. Getting to the place from the airport was easy based on all the information, she sent us before. We also received plenty of useful tips and facts about the island. Unfortunately Maria wasn't there in person, but her brother gave us a warm welcome. And for any problem or question we were able to contact their parents who live next door. They were very friendly and we spent some lovely evening at their place.
The apartment itself is like you see on the pictures, big enough for three people, the kitchen holds everything you need and from the balcony you can already see the ocean.
As the other visitors mentioned before there are some dogs in the neighborhood who may bark sometime during the night. You can easily get used to it, but if you don't, just close the windows and you hear nothing from them. There's also an air conditioner so you can also make it through the hot times of the year.
To get into the city was easy by bus from the station really near to the apartment and the supermarket around the corner provides everything you need.
We would definitely come back to this apartment and we highly recommend to visit these rooms for staying on that nice island! Thank you again for having us over!
