“Comfortable countryside apartment. Jewel in the mountain 😊”
+Perfect hospitality from Nikos, who was fulfilling every wish we had. Comfortable and modern apartment with jacuzzi. Distance to the beaches starting around 20 Mon driving. Very good restaurants within 5 minutes. You will need a car, but then it's a good starting point. Lovely small town.. You'll get an idea of Greek country life. Ask with a smile and you'll get everything back with an even bigger smile 😊

“Pretty on the surface but...”
+The bedroom is comfortable and airy. Balcony view is very nice and parking is convenient. The uphill driveway is difficult to climb in the car and I expect next to impossible when wet.
−When you roll up to the villa everything appears to be as advertised. Unfortunately the moment you open the door you are hit by the smell of must and damp and the smell of air fresheners trying to mask it. They definitely have an issue with rising damp as can be seen on the wall leading to the bathroom. The water pressure at the tub and handheld shower is extremely low to the point that it is almost unusable. There is also a leak from the tub that makes the floor constantly damp with puddles. The floor monstera motif is perhaps trying to keep in theme with the decorative plastic plants but is smooth and becomes a skating rink when wet and ill suited to a bathroom floor and stairs that lead down to the kitchen. The supplied soap and shampoo are in unlabelled bottles that have been refilled so many times they are misshapen and dented. The kitchen is by far the worst equipped I have come across with no utensils save for basic cutlery, 1 wine glass and 1 cup for tea. The cabinets are also damaged from damp. We planned then to use the barbecue that was outside but alas there was no charcoal supplied and no bbq utensils anyway. There was a small pile of sticks for firewood but we decided

“Welcomed by the people of Krousonas for an immersive experience in the Cretan countryside.”
+The village of Krousonas is charming. We had the luck to visit during a local festival and it was the highlight of our trip. It is in a perfect location - away from busy Iraklio, with a beautiful road leading up to the village (<20min). The property is somewhat secluded, near the top of the village. Feels secure, with a large door/wall providing an entrance. The bedroom is large, with plenty windows, and a very nice balcony allowing you to see the village, Iraklio and the ocean from far. The host is responsive.
−The house layout involves climbing stairs (not ideal for disabled/people with difficulty on stairs) - the washroom upstairs by the bedroom has only a toilet and sink, while downstairs is the bath.

“Very relaxing!”
+Beautiful property in a lovely mountainous area. Lots of room and very nice veranda. Close to several nice bakeries as well, locals were really lovely even though it was winding down to the end of season.
−Could have done with more kitchen equipment for cooking, such as a knife. Otherwise lovely. Just as a FYI, a car is needed in this area as although close to Heraklion it is so in driving distance and public transport to this particular location is limited

“Very good”
+Very spacious and clean. We had a dehumidifier that helped a lot with comfort and drying clothes on windy weather. Air conditioner was working properly as well.
−We didn't have an all purpose knife to cut vegetables, fruits, etc. We had to buy supplies like paper towels and garbage bags ourselves. We didn't have clothes pins to secure our laundry to the rack (it was very windy and we could have used some pins - the other studio from Athali Villa had them). One other thing that would have helped us - a wardrobe. There was a built in shelf in the wall to store clothes, but it had insufficient space and would collect a lot of dust.

“Superb”
+Apartament was really nice overall.
−The pillows:) Please get some different ones. We are not a posh kind of people but both couldn't sleep a single night without neck pain waking us up and we had to use pillows from the sofa downstairs.

“Séjour agréable dans une maison clame et propre, mais manque d'intimé avec les autres locataires”
+La maison est dans un petit village très au calme la nuit. De plus, la maison est bien entretenue et propre. A savoir aussi le propriétaire est très gentil et disponible, nous lui avons demandés des ustensiles complémentaires pour le barbecue dans l'après, il est venu les déposer pour le soir. Il y a la clim dans la chambre et cela est suffisant car comme la maison est en pierre en bas de la maison il faisait frais même la journée. La literie est de bonne qualité.
−Les rideaux de la chambre ne sont pas opaques, du coup à 6 heures du matin il fait jour comme si vous êtiez dehors. Comme le logement est divisé en deux appartements, les personnes de l'appartement du haut sont obligés de passer sur notre terrasse pour rentrer ou sortir de chez eux, il n'y a pas trop d'intimité.
