Our group of 6 stayed comfortably at Stelios' place. Prior to arriving, Stelios was very responsive with all of my questions and provided helpful advice for our travels. Our ferry to Crete was delayed and we did not arrive to his place until 11:30PM. Despite the late arrival, he was there to give us a warm greeting and gift us a cake baked by his mother!
The newly renovated house has 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. It was clean and spacious. Every amenity was provided (even an espresso machine!). We were able to park 2 cars in the lot next to the house. Stelios checked up on us everyday and even brought us extra coffee.
The house is located outside of Chania city center where it's a little quieter. The location is on a small street off the main road, so it's easy to miss if you don't have GPS. There are enough markets, ATMs, and restaurants within walking distance to serve most people's needs. It's a short car ride to city center and Old Town (just be aware parking is a little tricky there). The location is also walking distance to the bus station for people who don't have access to a car. Overall, I felt the location to be excellent as a base for exploring western Crete.
We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it wholeheartedly. We will gladly stay here again during our next trip to Crete!
