If you are looking for excellence in every way and for a local Crete experience Rose's place is highly recommended. As a previous reviewer commented this is how an AirBNB was intended to be operated before booking agents high-jacked the system.
We stayed for four weeks. Initially there were two of us and our son and partner joined us for one week. Everything was perfect thanks to Rose and Stella. We were welcomed with generous gifts of fruit, local olive oil, wine and raki. The house had everything we needed, even a dishwasher. The mountain water was beautiful. Solar hot water was plentiful. The power supply was reliable. Internet access was intermittent and as a back up we bought local sim cards and data from Cosmote in Heraklion. The house was spotless and the garden magnificent. We hired a small car and made trips to nearby villages for shopping and to the coast for swimming. For longer trips we went by coach from Heraklion.
The local village Taverna provided us a place to go for dinner and was just a short walk away. We bought milk and eggs from the local shop. We were fortunate in befriending a number of local people who all made us so welcome it was very sad to leave.
If you are a person who wants to be off the beaten track while still having access to great facilities then we strongly recommend staying at Rose's home.
If you are fortunate enough to stay there please read our notes in the visitor's book to help you with local knowledge.
