1. The description is not true. The house DOES NOT have 3 bedrooms. It has 2 bedrooms and an attic with 2 double beds. Almost no privacy at all in this third "room" as there is no door. You can hear everything from the lower floors. And vice versa.
We were on the edge of calling airbnb and requesting a different villa or a full refund - as we consider this kind of descriptions deliberately misleading.
2. No proper communication. All you get is kind-of-anonymous messages from a "customer service" agents. They DO NOT pass their messages to the landlord (host?), and the email address they provide for contacting the host is not real (?) - our landlord did not know our arrival details. We sent it 3 times, twice via airbnb and once to the email address.
Instead of proper communication and e.g. a decent description of the house, you receive a (very) long "house rules" - AFTER you complete booking. This, btw, is illegal. And arrogant.
In fact, I have no clarity on who the actual host is - the nice gentleman who met us on 2nd day, or the anonymous guys hiding behind the Airbnb mailing system.
3. The "bathrooms" are tiny. What they call a "2 and 1/2 bathrooms" is actually a 3x1/2 bathroom. You can't stand in the bath on the top floor. And the shower on the 1st floor is too small for bigger persons to shower comfortably.
If the above does not hold you from making a booking, some more info about the place that may help you make the decision:
1. What we DID like was the entire area around the house. The pool was big, there was a ping-pong table and 3 bikes (one out of order). We never biked as the roads around are steep, no fun unless you are a serious biker. A BBQ was available, we never used it. There was a nice bbq table.
2. The hosts provided us with a nice welcome pack, wine, beer, water, fruits- it was very nice.
3. The two bedrooms on the 1st floor are nice, and they both offer a nice sunset (!) views.
4. The beach is 2,5 kms away, but it's a pebble beach. Not very nice. There is a stretch of a sand in the port of Milatos. If you are looking for a good beach, you will need a car. We used to drive to Malia.
5. The nearest restaurants are in the village of Milatos, some 1 km away. You will find more in the port of Milatos, 2,5 kms away. A nice walk.
6. The supermarket down in the port is just a small store, don't expect much. You will have to drive to Malia for larger shopping.
