We greatly enjoyed our week at Maria's place in Kissamos. Maria was an excellent host: she helped us with any wishes we had (e.g., beach towels, advise on how to organize our visit to Samaria), and was always available either in person or remotely. The last couple of days she was away, but her friend Katerina was taking good care of us. We particularly enjoyed the welcome snack Maria prepared for us, and she provided more treats (fruit, drinks) along our stay.
The apartment is very nice and matching perfectly the description online. We particularly enjoyed the back terrace under the vine veranda, where we had breakfast and were hanging out every now and then, as well as the very spacious bathroom. The kitchenette is well equipped to prepare breakfast and light meals, and Maria provides condiments, including delicious olive oil, sugar ...
The location of the loft is really good: it's easy to drive to the most interesting spots in Crete, and Kissamos feels authentic enough still offering plenty of services for tourists. Ear plugs are advised if you think you may be annoyed by dogs barking during the night.
