All I can say is just perfect. Perfect room, perfect view, perfect hospitality. Everything you need is well thought and the room is fully equipped, including washing machine, hair dryer, shampoos, towels(for beach too), coffee machine, toaster, kettle, good fridge, olive oil, pan, etc. But as a person who cares about hygiene a lot what really made me love this place is that they didn’t put those decorative blankets and pillows in top of the bed like any other hotels/Airbnbs. No marks in the sheets nor in the towels. Everywhere in the room felt so clean. I stayed in Levantes room for 7 nights and had such a blast in the morning with the view while drinking my coffee. Balcony set up was also super cozy. Bed was very comfortable. There are really countless of things that I consider perfect. In some hotels or airbnbs there are no space for your makeup products, no proper place to hang your towels, put your clothes. But I got a lot of space for my stuff, I had three mirrors in the room which was very convenient also. Cute cretan cats were visiting our balcony once in a while which was also a big plus for me to have them around. I felt like we were in the nature with sea view but in a luxury condition. We were able to park our car just right in front of our front door as well which made also very easy for us to pack beach bags easily without carrying heavy things to the car. Car was just one step close to us. The owner couple was so sweet. When we encountered them, they kept asking if we need anything, if everything was good, it was obvious that they wanted to make sure we feel like home which we did. About the location, Kalyves was not beautiful as chania or rethymno but quiet and nice. Just a seaside village so dont expect too much from the village. There were two beaches nearby around 10 mins each but we always went to turquoise water beaches located in the west and south of crete but this was our preference. And since kalyves is located in between rethymno and chania we were able to visit both towns for dinner easily. Overall, it was such an amazing stay. This place increased the expectation so high that I am not sure if I’ll ever like other airbnbs as much as I liked this apartment. This level of cleanliness, good equipment and relax stay cannot even be found in five star all inclusive hotels sometimes. Amazing.

😀 - Meget flott og velstelt leilighet. Ypperlig service av en meget trivelig vert som leverte god informasjon om nærområdet. Anbefales på det sterkeste.

La joie de poser ses valises en Crète pour la première fois et d'y être dans un si joli contexte. Très sympathiquement accueillis sur les lieux avec nos deux enfants, nous avons eu le bonheur de découvrir le vaste appartement avec grande terrasse (et vue merveilleuse sur la baie de Kalyves) qui allait devenir notre maison pour trois jours. ||Une bouteille de raki nous attendait, ainsi que du vin - la générosité crétoise ! ||Lieu parfait pour naviguer d'est en ouest aux alentours - ne surtout pas manquer la crique d'Ombrosgialos !||Nous reviendrons avec un immense plaisir et recommandons chaleureusement cet endroit en tous points superbe tenu par des gens adorables (un gros bisou à bébé Johanna en passant)

Το καλύτερο καλωσόρισμα με ρακές, ρακόμελα και θέα στη θάλασσα! Ευρύχωρα, πεντακάθαρα δωμάτια με προσεγμένη διακόσμηση που δένει αρμονικά με το κρητικό τοπίο και την ανεμελιά των διακοπών, προσφέροντας ταυτόχρονα τις ανέσεις και τη βολή που βρίσκεις μόνο στο σπίτι σου. Ζεστοί άνθρωποι, αυθεντικά χαμόγελα και η κρητική φιλοξενία στα καλύτερά της! 5 αστέρια ανεπιφύλακτα, συν άλλο ένα για τις "λεπτομέρειες" που επιμένετε, κάνοντας τη διαφορά! Θα ξαναρθούμε το συντομότερο! 🙂

First about the apartment, it is cozy has a beautiful view for sunset and sunrise, breakfast early in the morning felt like paradise. Everything needed for the stay is there. Beaches are accessible by foot within 5 to 10min. Lots of mini markets and restaurants to visit.
Our hosts were amazing from their warm welcome to the apartment, friendliness and their quick response times if we ever needed anything was something I have never seen before.
Hope to stay in such amazing places with amazing hosts like here in the future but they surely set the bar high.

Such a lovely apartment, with everything you need, close to the bus station, we came from Chania by bus and it was just a 3min walk, everything is within walkable distance, great village. The bedroom was so confortable, you can really get amazing sleep there. It makes a great choice for peaceful holidays.

It was a pleasure to stay at Stelios AirBnB. It was an amazing time and the small city Kalyves had its own amazing vibe in contrast to other cities around. The AirBnb had everything you need and stelios has been every day around so you could ask him if there is anything you need. I would recommend this place for everyone who want to have a nice time on crete with a special airbnb.

5/5 but I would give more if it was possible! 5+++
Do not hesitate one second to book a night (or more) at Stelio ´s!!
Everything was just perfect, there is EVERYTHING you need to spend a great time, flat extremely well-equipped, freshly renovated, the view is so nice and the area very quiet and within walking distance to cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, bakeries,
You can also easily park.
Stelio is very welcoming and responsive.
One again, I cannot recommend enough this place!!! It’s a no brainer!

Το δωμάτιο (Sirokos) ήταν ευρύχωρο, πεντακάθαρο και άψογα διακοσμημένο με ολοκαίνουρια έπιπλα, αναπαυτικά κρεβάτια, άνετο σαλόνι με μεγάλη tv, γρήγορο ίντερνετ, πλήρως εξοπλισμένη κουζίνα, ευρύχωρο μπαλκόνι με θέα στη θάλασσα. Το διαμέρισμα βρίσκεται δίπλα από τη θάλασσα, με πλήθος καταστημάτων κοντά αλλά ταυτόχρονα έχει μια απόλυτη ησυχία που σε κάνει να θες να κάτσεις ατελείωτες ώρες στο μπαλκόνι. Οι ιδιοκτήτες φιλικότατοι, είναι κι οι ίδιοι ταξιδιώτες που έχουν γυρίσει όλο τον κόσμο οπότε ξέρουν ακριβώς πως θα φροντίσουν τον επισκέπτη τους. Να σημειωθεί το κέρασμα κατά την άφιξη μας αλλά και ένα δώρο έκπληξη που μας έκαναν κατά την αναχώρησή μας!
