This apartment is exactly as advertised. We found the location perfect for our interests. It is in a quiet beachside neighborhood away from larger resorts. We felt very safe walking around even at night. The beach at the end of the street is very clean and sandy, whereas some of the others nearby are rocky. There are chairs & umbrellas if you choose to rent them (we didn’t.) We also explored the nature preserve to the West and the next little beach just past the preserve which has a sea cave. We walked into Chania town almost daily to enjoy the shops & restaurants. However, the apartment has a fully functional kitchen so we cooked several meals too. There was plenty of hot water for 4 of us and as we stayed 10 days, the host brought fresh linens & towels mid-stay. Overall, our stay was better than expected. We would love to stay here again if visiting the area.
