1. Manousos was really great and kind. He responded promptly to our requests, the check in information was very clear and gave a great introduction to the area when we arrived. 2. The view - it is beautiful and there's a nice balcony perfect to just have a drink and watch the sunset. 3. Cleanliness - the flat was sparkling clean. The towels and the sheets smelt really nice and fresh. 4. Washing machine - we didn't use it but a great addition if you're travelling for longer and want to do some laundry.

1. Don't book this if you have a car - it's not 10€ per day (i.e. 24 hours). We parked the car around 4pm on the day we checked in and left the next day around 11am but ended up paying nearly 15€. 2. The bathroom is really tiny - you have to step in the shower cabin to close the door. Don't expect any shelves to put your toiletries on - I had to use the top of the toilet for my make up. 3. It is noisy so bring your ear plugs if you're a light sleeper - there is double glazing but it's on a main road so you still hear the traffic and drunk people shouting; we were unlucky enough to stay there over a weekend and the saturday night was manic. All in all, it's waaay overpriced for what it offers - maybe I'm too harsh but we stayed here after 5 other apartments/4* hotels in various places in Crete and all were cheaper than this apartment with a lot more to offer (including views) so had fairly high expectations. Tiny details were missing like a bottle of water in the fridge when we arrived, there wasn't even soap in the bathroom!

The location was as promised, only a few minutes from the beach and the centre of town with a beautiful view of the old harbour. A new local bakery only two minutes away made breakfast on the balcony a very enjoyable experience.

The sound-proofing isn't great so if your're a light sleeper take ear plugs! Also (picky I know) but the balcony chairs could do with an upgrade, they're a bit shoddy and dated. The coffee machine was a pod style which is environmentally unfriendly and it would have helped to have information on where rubbish and recycling should be taken to during our stay.
