Overall, the place is really nice and clean. The view is indeed outstanding and cannot be compared to anything. The surroundings of the apartment are not the best – dogs on short chains and chickens, which sometimes wake you up in the middle of the night. I guess, it's a village thing and does not depend on hosts. What is a big plus is that it is really close to the best restaurant we visited in Crete (it's called Onomatopeia, I believe and the food there is really great). Ultimately the place is really, really nice and allowed us to enjoy quiet-ish time away from the rush, which we experienced in Chania but at the same time is a good base to travel around the Crete.
