We enjoyed our stay at Maria's place. As a host she is charming, friendly and helpful. The apartment is not big, but adequate, and generally well equipped. But what it does have is a huge terrace which looks out over Chania, the sea and the mountains beyond. Great to wake up to and for dining. Street parking is pretty good, and you do need a car as it is a bit out of the centre - too far to walk (and hilly!). But- at least in October when we were there- there was easy free parking downtown, just outside the old city wall. A good place to stay in Chania.
