This is a great area. The best I've been to in Crete. The host, Mihalis, was really friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Always available either in person or by E mail. I felt completely at home! He had lots of useful advice about the local area which for me is one of the best bits about using airbnb. The apartment is exactly as it looks online. And everything works! Excellent air conditioning. A lovely balcony and very peaceful. It is a 5 minute walk from the main beaches, shops etc so it's not right in the town although paleohora is not really a busy place anyway and there's lots of interesting places to explore. If you're thinking of this area I'd highly recommend this apartment and the host.
