We had a truely amazing stay at this apartment. Although compact, the whole apartment is renovated to a high standard and the balcony isn't overlooked by other people staying in the same complex. The apartment was also serviced, with someone going in every few days, which was a pleasant surprise to us. The airconditioning worked really well, but found we didn't really need it as the balcony door and windows have bug screens fitted so you can keep them open for a breeze. The apartment balcony and pool area get the sun from 11am onwards, and we enjoyed many days lounging by the pool on the comfortable sun loungers.
As for location, this apartment is only a few metres away from some minimarts, and it's a 5 minute walk to 2 larger supermarkets. There are some beautiful beaches only a 10 minute walk away. The local restaurants we tried were all great, but we particularly enjoyed Taverna Dimitris and Sakis, Amazing Pizza, Nesaki and Salavantes.
It's definitely worth exploring Chania. The walk into Chania takes about an hour, but there walking route by the sea front we really enjoyed. At the bus stop by BMW you can get the 15 and 21 buses into Chania for 1.10 euro if you buy your ticket at the bus stop machine. The buses come on the hour and every half hour apparently, but we found they weren't often on time so it's worth just rocking up whenever you're ready. You can get a taxi back from Chania town centre for 10 euros, I believe the apartment complex has recently been renamed but the taxi drivers recognise the name Cafe Loca, which is very close on the main road. We enjoyed some incredible food at Ginger Concept, The Well of the Turk and Rakikis. If you like craft beer and cats you must visit Μπυραρία του Ρούντι, we enjoyed a few drinks here chatting with the owner Rudy and watching some of the 11 cats he cares for play in the beer garden.
Aggeliki and her assistant Tammy are incredibly friendly and helpful, and were quick to respond to any queries we had. The check in process was really easy. Although we couldn't arrange a late check out, the reception area at the front is perfect for storing your suitcase and there is a toilet with shower available to use if needed.
Overall this stay was great value for money and I would definitely return! Thanks Aggeliki and Tammy :)
