Angela’s place was really perfect and well-equipped with more than what I needed for a comfortable stay. The little patio area outside has a few resident visiting cats, and my memory alone of reading out there every morning while drinking tea, and again while watching the sunset through the trees, would be enough to make me want to come back again. Everything was spotless and extremely comfortable, so so homey! Angela was also literally the most helpful and accommodating guest I’ve ever had. Aside from helping me out in countless little ways, giving me fruit and snacks throughout the stay, she also took the immense pains of driving me around a lot since I did not rent a car (which I do recommend doing just for the sake of convenience). We ended up hanging out almost every day, and she’d take me to the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen, or a gorgeous little mountain village, and I would treat her to lunch as thanks. We actually really enjoyed each other’s company, as she is extremely hilarious and made me laugh a lot.. As a solo female traveler I had been alone in Europe for the entire summer, and so I really consider this to have been an amazing blessing. We ended up growing rather close and by the end of my 10 days I don’t think either of us wanted me to leave. However, I never felt like she was imposing herself on me in any way. She always asked me many, many times if I wasn’t sure I wanted to just do things alone, but because I wanted the company and we both really enjoyed hanging out, she kindly obliged to accompany me. Of course if you are more into seeking an independent and laid back stay, she definitely would accommodate that as well, as she is overall just very conscientious and gentle. I feel like I don’t even know what to say about the place because it was just the most magical, perfect, mystical, and gorgeous Airbnb stay I’ve ever experienced, and words are truly inadequate to capture my feelings for both the place in Chania and also Angela as a person. She is the embodiment of Greek xenia (hospitality). I can only recommend it with 10 stars out of 5, and it’s now a priority for me to return to Angela’s place again, perhaps at a different time of year to experience a different side of Crete, maybe when figs are in season🤍
