Jasmine Summer House

Szép autentikus környéken van, van saját parkoló ami lehet hogy nem nagy, de ezen a környéken kincs. Nagyon szépen igényesen van kidekorálva a teljes nyaraló, és közel van a tenger, nem bonyolult a közlekedés autóval. A szállásadó nagyon kedves, segítőkész. A dekorációból látszik az igyekezet, tényleg lakályos, kedves környezet van kialakítva. A tetőterasz nagyszerű, szépen kialakított és tágas, egyedüli hátránya, hogy apró lépcső vezet oda, nem mindenki számára alkalmas.

A hálószoba folyamatos szellőzést igényel, máskülönben kellemetlen szagú. A fürdőszobában a zuhanyzó kabinból egy kb 20cm-es sáv hiányzik, illetve a lefolyó fedele lejár (akkor lehet gond, ha kis gyerek véletlenül rosszul lép). A konyha részben erősebb a szag, jellemzően penész szag. Nagyon felszerelt a konyha, de emiatt egyik eszközt sem tudtuk használni, penészesnek láttuk a kávéfőzőt, mikrohullámos sütőt, az elmosott edényeken is érezhető volt. Emiatt ételtárolásra sem használtuk, az egyébként szépen kialakított étkező asztalt nem használtuk. A törekvés megvan, mert van ki-be fújó szellőző, és klíma is ami képes szárítani a levegőt, de ezek együttes használata során sem tisztult ki. Ebben a helyiségben is van egy egyébként kellemes méretű ágy, de ebben a helyiségben nem javasolt az alvás, erős penésztelenítést igényel.

I really liked the rooftop terrace and beautiful views. The kitchen was also very nice and well equipped. The village was sweet and just a short drive from some very nice beaches. I imagine this is a better place to enjoy during the summer months considering the outside staircases. Reasonably priced as it is further away from the beaches, but very convenient to explore the eastern part of Crete.

There was a mildewy/moldy smell in the bedroom/ bathroom area on the second floor. I also noticed a lot of condensation on the windows and mold on the walls. Because of this, I decided to sleep in the downstairs kitchen where there is a second Murphy bed. It was a bit of an inconvenience to go outside and upstairs to the bathroom, but that was my choice as I am sensitive to mold. Also note that there is only one bedroom and the second bed is a Murphy bed in the middle of the kitchen. It was cozy for me, but could be difficult for some. The kitchen does not have any windows and only one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom upstairs. There was a communication issue with the owner. I was surprised by the handyman coming by unannounced to fix the heating unit. He stopped by a second time, also unannounced, which was incredibly frustrating after already telling the owner to give me a heads up. We agreed to have him and the technician come by the next morning to fix the heating unit. I waited for 45 minutes and nobody showed up. I resolved this privacy issue by letting the owner know that he could fix the heater after I left. I was okay using the backup space heater instead. This was okay for me, but kind of annoying in terms of peace and privacy. Also, the parking is not great. I had a small Fiat Panda rental car and fitting it into the space while also allowing space for the neighbors cars was a bit anxiety inducing. I can’t imagine having a regular sized car.

The property is in a traditional Cretan village with easy access to the lovely scenery of eastern Crete.

It was a surprise to find that the property is on three levels, each quite separate from the others and therefore only reachable by going outside (not ideal in winter!). There is a roof terrace (with a view of the sea) but it is reached via a very narrow diameter spiral staircase impossible for someone, such as my wife, with a fear of heights. The kitchen is on the ground floor and is well equipped but we used it only for breakfasts with food we brought in. This ground-floor level includes a built-in, pull down bed but I could not see how it could be used with the rest of the furniture in place. The middle level has a bedroom with a small en-suite bathroom. The bed is a strange shape - wide but very short (I would guess only 1.7 metres at the most). For somebody over 6 foot, such as myself, sleep is possible only when curled up (because otherwise both feet and part of the leg hang over the end) and is accordingly fitful. The matress is comfortable and there were just sufficient bedclothes for winter The bathroom is quite adequate in terms of size but the shower cubicle does not close entirely, leaving a 20cm gap that all too easily allows water to wet the floor and mat. The narrow streets of the village are not a new phenomenon (I live in a Cretan village) but there is a density of parking which can cause problems. Some of the issues encountered might well be less significant in a summer rental but I would not recommend this property for winter.

Gastgeber ist sehr bemüht, Parkplatz direkt am Haus, Einrichtung komplett, soweit hat es uns an nichts gefehlt!

Die Verbindung der beiden Zimmer über die Aussentreppe ist etwas unkomfortabel.

Die Kommunikation mit dem Besitzer des Hauses ist erstklassig. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, das Haus ist praktisch und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Dachterasse konnten wir wegen des schlechten Wetters nicht nutzen, aber es muss traumhaft sein dort zu frühstücken.

Das Einparken

Odlična terasa.

Neprijeten vonj v kuhinji najverjetneje zaradi slabega prezračevanja.

Rolig og lokalt område, men tæt på strand og by

Det eneste minus er at køkken og soverum er fordelt på to etager hvor man skal udenfor, men det vender man sig sig

Ergonomics of the 2 rooms were perfect
