I visited Michails home in low season, despite that, Michails sent me recommendations, he and Effie were very kind to us, we spent the New Year holidays in their apartment and they made us feel at home, even being part of the local Greek traditions, they gave us a dessert made by Effie for the New Year. We had a problem to use the heating and they helped me super fast, even offering to send someone immediately. The house is close to the beach, but from Chania it is a 15 min drive, my recommendation is to rent a car to go around Crete.
The kitchen is perfectly equipped, we were greeted with a basket of fruits and local homemade candys, which was very useful for our whole stay, the pool is very clean, and there is parking, the view is great! I would definitely come back.
