We rented both rooms and had an overall nice stay at Murray's but with some disappointing aspects.
First, the good points:
- the view from the terraces is indeed beautiful and we could enjoy beautiful sunsets there
- there is a nice outdoor kitchen (even if basic)
- the mountain bedroom is very pretty and bright, with nice linen and futas and bathrobes provided
- some gifts were waiting for us (wine & olive oil)
- the place is clean
- A/C is working fine in both rooms
- we had the pleasure to have the company of Maizy the cat who was very fun and friendly (we're cat lovers)
What could be improved/what was disappointing:
- not as secluded as we thought it would be (the property is right on the road)
- no washing machine (for a summer place nearby beaches, and where it's hot everyday, it would be nice to have a way to wash our clothes other than by hand...)
- no outdoor clothesline to hang our swimsuits / towels when returning from the beach
- no iron (as mentioned in the description)
- poor water pressure (if more than 2 showers were taken between both rooms, the Mountain room hardly had any pressure)
Also, there was quite a difference of service between the Mountain room and the Garden room. We paid a total amount for both rooms so we expected the same benefits.
- the garden room was pretty dark and noisy (noise from the road nearby)
- contrary to what is stated in the description, the garden room has no garden or table/chairs (just a patch of dried grass)
- the bedsheets in the garden room were kind of worn out (lint) and no futas or bathrobes were provided.
We realized that it was a little far from Chania (after a day in the city, it was too far to go back home to change for the evening and back to Chania to have dinner), but this was on us: we didn't evaluate that aspect when we booked the rooms.
Communication with Murray and Dorothy was good overall and their daughter who was there in the main house was helpful.
I would recommend their place but with improving the service provided in the Garden room and making a washing machine available.
