The place is amazing, and I will get to that more in a moment.
But first a special thanks has to go to the current host Kostas (the father of the family-run operation). He was super helpful and accessible throughout the entire stay. He picked us up from the airport for free, got us an insanely good car rental deal from a great company (no scam), and gave us a quick tour of Chania (complete with photo stop) all within the first hour of meeting us.
Throughout the rest of the stay he was in regular contact to check in with us, help us with parking, and give suggestions. When I got sick he even offered to return the rental car for me.
What I'm saying is that this place is an easy 5 stars just on the hospitality of Kostas alone. But the space is also great as well.
It is located right in the middle of the heart of Chania, and is perfectly situated for exploring the city. Somehow, it is amazingly quiet at night despite being right next door to all sorts of bars and restaurants. I'm pretty sure it is due to the high quality of construction, so I would not expect most other places in area to be able to give a similar experience.
Inside, the apartment is large and relaxing. You will have plenty of space to unpack your luggage, two full bathrooms with high quality showers, a kitchen with plenty of equipment, a washer with some soap pods provided, and all of it clean and maintained.
The balcony is great for relaxing at the end of the day, or even eating a meal on, and doubles as a great place to dry your clothes as it gets lots of sun in the day.
Overall, we loved our stay here and will definitely come back the next time we are in Chania.
Also, Kostas' wife Niki makes some amazing macarons so there's not much choice in the matter.
