Though in the beggining we were a bit sceptical about the fact that is not located in the old town district, Alexandros and his lovely house, made every single euro spent for this appartment worth it. The location itself turns that into an advantage at the end. After staying there we felt really relaxed and some credit goes to this place.
Alexandros was always there for us from the moment we landed at the airport till the day we left from Chania. He helped us in renting a car which we were able to park at the spot that is reserved for his appartment(that made feel more relaxed knowing that the rental car was also in a controled area). He was waiting for us with a welcome drink and gave us several maps to use throughout our stay there. We also met for some drinks a couple of times, at which he explained a few things about the way Chania is build around the ancient city etc. Perfect host and tourist guide.
As for the house, it is exactly as mentioned in the pictures of Airbnb. I don't regret even for a second the fact that I chose this property instead of something closer to the city centre. Though it might seem expensive, the quality that it offers in combination with, safety, quite and relaxed environment and view makes it more than reasonable. It totally pays off.
