First and foremost - Old town Chania is amazing and this is central to everything you need to experience. Great place, location and value. The hosts were great and communicative the entire time. There were extra touches like fresh fruit and wine up arriving - much appreciated! The table and chairs for outside the entryway were an wonderful time to experience the charming streets and passerby’s like a local. The villa is 4 stories so be prepared for stairs but they’re not terrible - no bathrooms and bedrooms are on the same floor and the showers are small. The upper one is a constant fight with the shower curtain but you can step outside to your private roof terrace and forget all about it!
My only irritation was I was traveling through Europe for several weeks and this was my midpoint destination which I planned to do laundry and specifically was looking for a place with washer/dryer. This place advertised as such and I also specifically asked before booking ... perhaps my fault for not asking a clarifying question on whether a “dryer” was a drying rack or electric dryer. It was the former and it took 2 days to semi-dry my clothes which I had to pack up still damp. Only because this was a major requirement for me and impacted my overall stay was I very disappointed.
It doesn’t take away from the overall amazing experience of Chania which is worth some damp clothes!
PS... parking is free outside old town however is like playing a game of cat and mouse with everyone else. Be scrappy and quick! Also say hi to the local cats/kittens who are loving and adorable.
