We loved everything about Mikela's place. The house opens to a terrace on a private side of the building, which is nice and peaceful. The views of the mountains are amazing. We often had the shared pool and grounds to ourselves, due to there only being 4 small properties on the site. Other guests were always lovely to chat to. The internet is only available in the pool area, not in the house, and wasn't reliable even there, but maybe it's good to be offline sometimes (there was was plenty of 4G network). The house has all the necessary basics upon arrival, thoughtful things like water, sun cream and insect repellent had been left in the property. The access is a dusty gravel lane, as are many routes in the area - I recommend to use Ways for GPS, not Google Maps, which sent down some dead end lanes while in Crete- but nothing major
Ask Mikela for contact details for Kosta's car rental company. Kostas was able to offer availablity at late notice and at a competitive rate. He was a lovely person to met us at the airport. He also recommended some great places to visit, and offered his help throughout the stay.
