We had a great time staying in Chania in Kostanna (two adults, two children). Anna and her parents were lovely. It was reassuring to know that Anna or her parents were just around the corner in their tavern - Moutoupaki - if we needed tips or help. They kindly looked after our bags after we'd checked out which meant we could enjoy more time exploring Chania. Chania is lovely and it was a real treat to be so central - Kostanna is on one of the narrow streets of the old town two minutes from the lovely habour front. The best of it was that Kostanna is tucked away amazingly on one of the quietest of those narrow streets so you get the benefit of being amongst the hustle and bustle of Chania but not being disturbed by it. The nearest parking would have been 5 mins walk away and not guarenteed so we decided not to bother hiring a car - we used the excellent bus and ferry service for our trips elsewhere in Crete (Samaria Gorge/Hora Sfakion and Kissamos/Balos - two long days, so we were glad we left a day inbetween). The main bus station was only 5 mins walk away so really convenient, in fact lots of the many places of interest in Chania were only 5/10 mins walk away. Kostanna had a washing machine, a cooker, a fridge, a shower, wifi and air-con upstairs so all you needed really to self cater comfortably although there were hundreds of tavernas and restaurants close by, so lots of options for eating out. The bigger supermarkets are obviously outside the old town and there's a nice one 5 mins away on the corner of Pireos and Skalidi on the way to the bus station. I would recommend Kostanna if you want that Chania old town experience or want a base in Chania with easy links by bus elsewhere.
