We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Notos Heights Hotel in Malia. It's a clean, friendly property in an excellent location, only 10 minutes walking distance from the beautiful Malia Old Town.
It's worth clarifying that this isn't necessarily an 'Air BnB' as such, you don't have direct contact with the host and it doesn't involve staying in a residential property. This is a set of hotel-esque rooms with a shared communal pool.
There was a real mix of other people staying at the hotel, different nationalities, ages and families and everybody was really friendly which made the shared pool experience enjoyable.
