Where to begin, there is so much good to say, this is going to take me a long time. 10 out 10 for starters, and I am quite a fussy difficult customer. The apartment location is absolutely fantastic. The back patio doors open out onto the large private back veranda, with a breath taking view of the sea and mountains. The apartment is part of the host's own home but they are rarely there. However their communication is perfect and very quick and both Andreas and Marianna are very kind and friendly people who will do everything they can to accommodate your requests and make you feel at home. They have 2 young boys and 2 lovely dogs. Andreas pops by daily to feed the dogs and Ira and Speeda really are the sweetest dogs I have met. The apartment is spacious with good light. It's a large open plan studio with a very well equipped kitchen. It has a good electric oven with a gas hob, a large fridge, a proper coffee maker, a kettle, a sandwich maker, frying pans, sauce pans etc ... There is plenty of hot water and great water pressure. And the apartment is really nicely furnished. There is plenty of cupboard and drawer space for 2 or more people, a very comfortable bed. The apartment is set in a couple of acres within a farming and residential area. There is very little light or noise pollution so you have a great view of the stars at night. The drive to the property is through an olive grove mostly on concrete roads. The host gave me an exact GPS location and a few helpful photos and I had no problem finding the place using Google maps very carefully as it's location is shown exactly correctly. The apartment is about 3 minutes off the main road. It's perfectly situated on the west coast of the island slightly less than an hour drive to Chania airport. It's ten minutes drive from Kissamos (district) is actually Kastelli (town) but both are used on street signs and twenty minutes from the best beach on the island and one of the best in the world, Falasarna. It's 30 minutes drive from some incredibly beautiful mountain villages. You will need a car. This apartment is one of the very few on Airbnb that is truly suitable for long stay (trust me, I have stayed in over 30 Airbnb apartments for work and pleasure in the last 3 years). This is a true gem and I am almost loath to recommend it as I want to keep it all to myself. A magical place with the warmest, most caring hosts you could hope for and even couple loving dogs to protect you and keep you company.
