My husband and I stayed with friends (who had a 4 year old) at Harry and Eva's the first week of April.
The accommodation is lovely and lives upto the pictures posted. As you enter the home, there are two bedrooms on the ground floor and a bathroom. The larger bedroom has a dressing table and closet space for storage. The smaller bedroom has a platform bed and there is limited storage space available here. Climbing up the spiral staircase, the first floor has an open plan kitchen / living space. The kitchen has a breakfast area with bar stools and the living space has a bay window with a lovely view of the sea. There is also a balcony and a bathroom on this level. Climbing further up, there is another floor that provides access to a terrace with ample seating space and a lovely view of the port and surrounding areas (it is a shame that we could not enjoy this space given the weather). Both bedrooms and the living area have a TV that has Netflix. The winding staircase can be tricky especially if you are travelling with children (they make this clear in the listing). The house gets plenty of air and light which was very welcoming. There is a vacuum cleaner and cleaning supplies if need be.
There is a restaurant and cafe just next to the house and the port and beach are walking distance. There is a supermarket that is about a 15 min drive away and the Heraklion airport and city center are both a convenient 20 min drive.
What worked well:
We enjoyed our stay at Harry & Eva's. The kitchen is furnished with sufficient plates, cutlery and cooking pots. There is also an oven, a sandwich maker, a water kettle, filter coffee maker and a nespresso coffee maker.
They had provided us with plenty of towels to see us through the stay and there was some food (bread, honey, jams, spices, biscuits, coffee and tea, wafers) as well which was very much appreciated on the day we arrived.
Both Harry and Eva have been very cordial and prompt in their responses. They attended to our needs immediately which was helpful. We were there to celebrate my husband's birthday and they helped coordinate a surprise cake (which was absolutely heavenly, thanks Harry!) and the gesture was very kind. They have been great in suggesting nearby supermarkets / bakeries as we needed.
What could have worked better:
The shower in the bathroom downstairs leaked water which made the space wet and a bit dirty. We messaged the host who looked into it immediately, but the problem persisted throughout the stay.
We did miss having a microwave and had to end up heating over the stove or use hot water (e.g. to warm milk for the kid).
The second / smaller bedroom does not have convenient storage space. As we were two separate families it felt intrusive to go to other room at all times to fetch things. A few hangers in the smaller room would have been better.
Overall, the accommodation is great especially if you are looking for something with a view and the hosts are very hospitable. Would definitely recommend staying with them.
