We had a lovely week staying at Michaels place and he is a fantastic host and went out his way to make sure we had everything we need. The apartment itself is really spacious, and beautifully decorated. Also has good air con. Gerani village is charming with some nice restaurants and the cove down the hill has the clearest water Which is lovely to swim in. We didn’t have a car but found the buses easy to navigate and rethymno is a nice town to visit for the day. Would recommend staying here :)
