Live as the Cretans do!
This room is right in the heart of the old town, just a couple of minutes walk from the beautiful old port. It is lovely to be walking along the quaint cobbled lanes and to feel like a local amongst all of the little bars, cafes, restaurants and boutique shops.
The room itself is fairly basic and I was surprised at just how close the bed was to the front door! However it had everything we needed and it was a perfect base for us to come back to after a day exploring Crete.
We were given locally grown fresh oranges to make orange juice with which was a lovely touch and some raki to try too! We were made to feel very welcome in the apartment.
Unfortunately, there was no hairdryer in the room (despite specifications stating there was one). When I contacted Nikolaos about this, I did not hear back. Other than this, communication was very good and Nikolaos was a helpful host.
As mentioned on previous reviews, the walls are very thin and you can hear conversations clearly when people are walking past/talking next door. Having said this, it did not bother us and the room was lovely and cool which meant that we didn’t constantly need the air con on.
The room was cleaned daily and we were given fresh towels and sheets which was really useful.
Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay and I would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a basic but comfortable and convenient place to stay in the heart of Chania old town.
