Bad experience
This place was disgusting!We've NEVER had to CANCEL an VRBO before. But this place was an exception. We were booked for 10 nights and could only manage 1.We were extremely disappointed. There were lots of issues with the property (which outline below). We had written to the host several times about a lot of ongoing issues with the property but got limited responses and no resolution to fix the issues. We tried but we felt we could no longer stay at the property any further as they didn't care about our wellbeing so had to leave for our own well-being. I stressed to the host several times about issues we immediately found but they shrugged it off. There have been plenty more problems and all of these were ongoing issues. On arrival we discovered that there was only one bedroom. He advertised as 2. So I have to sleep on dirty old mattress in the kitchen,did not sleep whole night. The property should have been properly cleaned out before our arrival. There are 10 or more cats that constantly try to get inside the property as soon as you open the door! This was getting worse by the day as they get more confident even when I used a broom to usher them away. This is infuriating! And not relaxing. We tried having cup of coffee on the patio so had to come back inside property!!! Cat was attacking us! Which makes us feel trapped in a place we had paid for to RELAX in!!! The surrounding of the property is not nice, friendly, or welcoming. The property was so dirty! There was dirt,

petite maison ancienne bien rénovée mais négligée
C'est une maison de prime abord charmante, dotée d'un jardin et d'une petite terrasse, située en hauteur avec vue sur la montagne en face, et vue possible sur la mer. Elle est toutefois incluse dans le périmètre d'une grande maison aux nombreuses activités, en bonne entente. Elle a une grande pièce principale (coin cuisine, coin lit, table à manger), une chambre, et une petite salle d'eau bien aménagée et jolie. Les nécessités de la vie moderne sont présentes (grand frigo, cuisinière électrique, bouilloire, grille-pain). Il y a aussi internet, mais celui-ci, comme dans d'autres endroits en Crête, est de mauvaise qualité. Néanmoins, c'est une maison sombre s'il pleut ou s'il fait froid et que la porte est fermée (c'était le cas lors de notre semaine de séjour fin octobre 2021), car la pièce principale a trois petites ouvertures situées en hauteur et la porte est en bois, ce qui a certes l'avantage de conserver la fraîcheur quand il fait chaud. Nombre de points laissent une impression de négligence et mériteraient d'être améliorés pour mettre la location au niveau de ce qui se pratique ailleurs à prix et prestations équivalents, ce dont nous avons l'expérience depuis une dizaine d'années dans divers pays plusieurs fois par an, y compris en Crête. Exemples : sur la terrasse se trouve une caisse en bois démantibulée remplie de pots de peinture usagés ; dans le foyer de la cheminée se trouvaient les bûches à demi consumées et les cendres datant d'un précédent occupant ; les matelas sont de qualité médiocre, relativement mous, à ressorts pour l'un, en mousse pour l'autre ; deux des prises ancrées dans le mur se défont au moindre usage, et, pour la cuisine il n'y a qu'une seule prise (si bien que faire griller du pain et faire bouillir de l'eau doit se faire en deux temps pour le petit déjeuner) ; autour de la grande table se trouvent trois chaises, dont l'une est défoncée, et une banquette peu agréable à utiliser faute d'un coussin plus épais ; il existe une seule poêle avec un fond usé. Par ailleurs, l'absence d'un petit livret avec les informations utiles ont obligé à téléphoner au propriétaire, heureusement joignable, d'autant que la personne chargée de nous accueillir, un membre de la famille tout à fait cordial, ne parlait pas anglais et ne connaissait pas la maison. Si ces divers points, et peut-être quelques autres, d'un coût modique, sont améliorés, c'est alors une maison tout à fait accueillante, bien située, pratique pour découvrir la région.

Une vue sur les montagnes, une vue sur la mer qui offre de merveilleux levers de soleil, une petite maison typique et bien équipée, idéalement située pour visiter l'Ouest de la Crète. Un hôte très réactif. Ne pas hésiter !
