The location of this accommodation is outstanding. It is right on the front at the old harbour but at the very end at the eastern end. So you get the amazing views and are right in the heart of things without being too noisy.
Although it is situated above a restaurant run by the owners there were no issues with that - in fact we ate there twice and it was good. The noise in the area did not disturb us but it might be an issue if you want absolute quiet from early on - go to a different part of town in that case!
The accommodation is smaller than we realised from the description and pictures - it is basically a single but good-sized room with a big double bed, an armchair and a table and chairs with a small kitchen area behind and a nice tiled toilet/shower. It would only accommodate 2 people. The furniture is traditional.
The size of the indoor accommodation is made up for by an outstanding balcony overlooking the harbour with a table and chairs, 2 sun beds and still plenty more space. We spent most of our time out here when we were in the apartment.
It is the location and the view that makes this place and if we were coming back to Chania it would be hard to stay anywhere else after experiencing this. There is cheaper accommodation around but you are paying for the location and view here as well as the accommodation - we reckoned it was worth it!
We dealt with Christina who corresponded very promptly and helpfully - she met us on arrival and gave us helpful advice. She does not live on site but the apartment is owned by the owners of the restaurant who were very hospitable and were always on site.
They made a point of keeping a parking spot available in the residents parking outside the restaurant- it is not a general parking area. The only issue we had was someone drove into our parked car at some point and damaged the rear lights. This could have happened anywhere but make sure you have the excess insurance cover (annual policy with questor for £40 - saved us a couple of hundred!).
Overall a great holiday in an ideal location - we would come back and stay here again.
