This place is amazing. Beautiful house, fairly priced and superbly equipped with everything you need. The area is very safe, but a little remote, so you might wanna get a rental car or ebikes to get around.
There are some little shops and restaurants in the area, but personally, I wasn't up for walking a few miles a day in the blazing sun, so we rented a couple of escooters. I can highly recommend AutoLele in Gouves if you want to rent a vehicle, they are brilliant people.
There are small beaches, shops and tavernas within a mile of the place. The bus stop is quite a hike though if you wanna get around.
Hersonnisos and Kokinni Hani are the closest towns and have quite a lot to offer. Kokinni Hanni is only a couple of miles away and Hersonnisos is about 10 miles. Knossos is a 25 minute drive and so is the airport / Heraklion City.
Nikolaos who was looking after us couldn't have been more helpful, he always answered our numerous questions in no time at all and was very invested. The owner of the house came by one day and he was lovely as well.
The house has 3 bedrooms, a double bed (140 cm, with a small ensuite), a single, and a twin bedroom. There is also a day bed in the living room. The kitchen is fully equipped and there's a washing machine.
The water pressure in the house isn't the best, so if you have very long and thick hair like myself, you might have to wash it head over in the shower. That wasn't an issue though.
We did a daytrip to Santorini, which was very nice, but also quite exhausting. I can also recommend Agios Nikolaos, if you want to see more of the area. Again, it's best if you get a rental.
Hope this helps!
