The Island House By Plakalona Villas & Apartments

Maria's place is fantastic - we had a wonderful stay. The views of the sea from the apartment are amazing and it had everything we needed. The location is perfect. It was very clean and Maria was a brilliant host - so helpful, answering all our questions.

A wonderful view at the sea and very close to the sea for a swim. We had a very nice time.

Nothing

Convenient location and we were able to check in early which was very helpful.

We liked everything although we were surprised there wasn't a coffee machine there. (There was a French Press and a stove top espresso maker so we did have good coffee!)

Accommodation is beautiful, soothing views from the balconies. Breakfast on the balcony with sunrise is wonderful. The beach and restaurants are within a 1-minute walk. Parking is about 250 meters

The equipment is average, in the photos it looks better than in reality. There are not many dishes in the kitchen. If you want to cook, you will probably miss something. There are only 3 pots: 0.3 L, 0.5 L and 6 liters - how do you want to cook in it? The biggest problem is noise at night. We never slept - young people live in the next house (across the road) who are just sitting on the street and you can't sleep. If it was evening, I don't mind, but they sit (10 people) every day until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. He arrives on scooters. It is not possible to sleep. And it's practically every day. It doesn't even help to close the windows. Music plays, smokes, has fun (photo from 2:30 in the morning). And the owner of the accommodation can do something about it, because her brother was among those people. And cars, vans and trucks drive directly under the windows, just a few inches from the balcony. And the traffic here is unexpectedly big! If you want to sleep at night, find other accommodation. We spent more than 2 months in Crete, slept in 9 different accommodations and this was the worst.
