We very much enjoyed our stay here - Palaiochora is lovely, but it was even nicer to be a few blocks back and up the hill overlooking the town - where it was quieter and the views were amazing (panoramic, the peninsular, and sunsets), the rooftop balcony is on all 4 sides. We ate in the town, or by the beaches, where there is a plentiful choice of tavernas and restaurants. The shower is very good and in a proper shower tray (not often the case in Crete), and the washing machine was a boon. Communication with Mihalis was good, and he addressed our couple of issues promptly. The "address" and directions from Airbnb was not helpful (sent us to the town centre), so do message Mihalis for proper directions to the appartment before you set out (we had fortunately done this as we had needed it for the Greek PLF form anyway). It's such a great base for exploring the SW corner of Crete (by car and by boat), its beaches, and gorges (including Samaria and Anidri) - would definitely come back here to Mihalis's rooftop appartment.
