Wow! What can I say? A beautiful apartment, just as described in the listing! The apartment is 200 metres from the beach and within a few metres from shops, a very well stocked supermarket, tavernas and bars but the apartment is tucked away down a quiet street so there is no noise at all. The apartment has everything that you could wish for, even beach towels! There's no need to pack a hair dryer or straighteners because Serafim provides these and even more things. The beds are so comfortable too, all of us that stayed here all agreed that the beds were the comfiest ever and we even overslept at times! Communication with Serafim was first class. before our arrival, Serafim responded to our enquiry within an hour and during our stay if we needed anything Serafim replied within minutes. I don't think you could get a better apartment or a better host than Serafim at such good value in the Gouves area and I will certainly be thinking of booking the Gouves beach boutique apartment again when we come back to Crete. Thank you Serefim for a fabulous holiday!
