Our stay at Christine's house was wonderful. We had a late flight in but we met the host at a local restaurant where we were given so much delicious complimentary food and then we were driven to the house. The house was bigger and better than the photos suggest, everything was super tidy with all the essentials and luxuries included. the beach was a 15 minute walk away with a selection of taverns to eat and drink at. there was easy access to buses into heraklion and further east. would definitely recommend this house for anyone visiting Crete.
