We cannot fault our first Airbnb experience! Sia was really helpful, quick to respond to emails and provided lots of useful information about the apartment and how to get there before we arrived.
On arrival Sia and her husband made us feel right at home with big friendly smiles and a glass of raki! Very welcome after travelling! They also invited us for breakfast the next day which was a lovely experience where we got to sample some homemade Cretian treats which were delicious! Sia was very knowledgeable about the island and also gave us more information about places to visit in the local area.
We were very impressed with the apartment which was even nicer and bigger than the photos showed. It is very well furnished and everything is really new, modern and exceptionally clean. The view from the front balcony is amazing and we enjoyed many hours relaxing and looking out over to Chania town. There are 4 balconies in total and a large roof terrace, spoilt for choice!
The location is in a residential area (at the top of a small hill) that is very quiet and in walking distance of several very good restaurants and small shops. There are also 4 lovely beaches within a 5-10 minute walk of the apartment. We hired a car which we parked in the garage below the apartment but we also used the local buses. There is a regular bus service into Chania town (bus stop 5 minute walk from the apartment) which takes about 10 minutes and runs till about midnight.
Would definitely recommend this apartment and we are hoping to return again next year!!
