We really enjoyed our stay at Mike’s. The location was perfect- around a 10 minute walk into old town and Nea Chora beach and around a 25 minute walk to Golden Beach (which we preferred).
Staying slightly outside of old town was beneficial as it was a lot quieter and we were able to immerse ourselves more within the Cretan culture, for example there was a Cretan festival just outside the apartment which we attended alongside the locals. The apartment itself was just what we needed and the addition of air conditioning was much appreciated 😂.
Mike was a very accommodating host, responding quickly to our many messages and recommending things to do, places to eat, taxis etc. We found ourselves in a spot of trouble when we sat outside for breakfast and the door closed behind us, leaving the key on the inside of the door (which was now automatically locked). Despite being at work, Mike managed to help us, with the aide of a group of locals, to get back into the apartment.
Overall we had an amazing stay in Chania and hope to visit again in the future. For anyone looking for somewhere to stay, Mike’s is a great and affordable choice!
