“Excellent spot for partying, eating and drinking”
1. The music was fun most of the time. We got to listen to some 80s classics. If that's your thing, you could have a good time. 2. There a huge parrot called Kostas. It's interesting and novel. But he screams a lot in the morning. 3. The bed is comfy and the pillows very nice. 4. The aircon works perfectly. 5. Fridge and kettle at hand. 6. Decent shower. 7. Nice courtyard area with a rack for clothes, chairs and a table. 8. There's a large mirror in a corner and plenty of space. 9. Good staff, very friendly and upbeat.

“4 days and 1 birthday”
Everything was really good. Friendly atmosphere of the staff, clean studio, a few steps away from beach. Mannos and Kostas are always very helpful. It's a lovely place where you can find relax under the sun on the golden beach.

Super nice apartment with big balcony right next to the beach. The host was waiting for us when we arrived ~1 AM because our flight was delayed. Everyone was so nice and welcoming to us everyday and gave us the best possible time in Crete. The food and the drinks in the restaurant are very good! We had to pay for the sunbeds in the beach (10 EUR per day) but there is also a beach service from the bar. The room was very clean, the cleaning lady was super nice and did her job thoroughly. We were working in the apartment during our stay and there was no issue at all with the WiFi in the rooms, not even in videocalls. We had a very pleasant overall experience, thank you for Jacqueline, Kostas and everyone! Highly recommend!
