This apartment was a really nice little find. It was particularly clean, and having stayed 10 days we appreciated a complimentary mid stay clean as well. The kitchen is fully equipped with some brand new appliances like a new oven. The apartment is nicely decorated, with really comfortable beds and crisp/clean sheets. The hosts were helpful and responsive and generously had for us an ongoing supply of - toilet paper, basic cooking aids eg salt, pepper, ground coffee, mosquito repellant and washing machine pods.
This apartment is a good base, to explore the eastern side of Crete. It is far enough away from the hustle of Heraklion but still close enough to drop in. The beach it is situated on is very small (may about 100-150m long) and there are no supermarkets or tavernas at that beach. You do need a car to get around and drive elsewhere (and note the roads are narrow and steep but we managed with a large van!). There is a really nice beach with lots of taverna's that is close by, called Agios Pelagia (less than 10 mins to drive). We had hoped to spend more time on the balcony but couldn't with high winds and mosquitoes. Re mosquitoes - they were around just for a few days and then we didn't have a problem again. The hosts had repellant anyway.
I felt this place was on a beach that is tucked away, quite hidden but a really nice base to explore Crete from.
