Globally we had a great time in Chania. Aspasia was a welcoming and available host, always ready to answer our questions and meet our needs. The apartment
is lovely and well located, and allows one to experience greek living for a few days.
A few downsides are present, however. The relative humidity in the apartment, probably due to the bathroom fan not being very effective at removing dampness after using the shower, lead to a funny smell when first coming in, that we however forgot existed after a few minutes (partially thanks to the automatic perfume dispensers in the apartment). The shower is extremely small. Something common to Crete but that I wish I had known before, is that a lot of places require you to throw away toilet paper in a trash bin, and not down the toilet, this apartment is no exception. You should also know that dogs
(strays and pets) tend to have barking conversations at night in that neighborhood, one could use earplugs for a better sleep.
There are nevertheless a good amount of positive points to this apartment. The neighborhood is great and the neighbors are nice and welcoming, we had a great chat with them upon our arrival. The beach is very close and there are a few stores nearby with English-speaking employees. The washing machine is
modern and comes in very handy to wash small batches of clothes, like beach towels (we had to bring our own) and swimsuits. The mattress from the double bed is very comfortable and we slept well on it. The single bed, however, didn't seem as comfortable, although we didn't sleep on it. The air conditioning works well downstairs, and there is a fan on the mezzanine to compensate for the air conditioning not reaching the double bed upstairs. The patio
(courtyard) is cute and very useful to dry clothes, etc. There is a reserved parking spot for guests to use.
