The five of us stayed at Marias place for 11 days and it was wonderful. Maria was very helpful even before we arrived, the communication was quick and clear. Maria welcomed us when we arrived and showed us her amazing place. The apartment is clean, very spacious, Maria even added a new bed so that the 5 us could sleep even more comfortably. There is a large terrace (from which even a little bit of sea can be seen while drinking coffee in the morning) and in the backyard there is also a ping pong table and bbq. The living room area is spacious with a giant and comfy sofa. The kitchen absolutely has everything needed for making any kind of meals. Two bathrooms (one with a hot tub and a washing machine, one with a walk in shower) are a giant plus and make life easier when there are 3+ people in the accommodation. Maria even left new toothbrushes and toothpaste for us. There were a number of towels which we changed after a couple of days. We stayed during the peak of the heat wave and it was still pretty cool in the apartment and when required the air condition in the living room is on the perfect spot to keep the entire apartment at the right temperature. The location is another great thing about the place, as it is just 150m from a small beach that has a great beach bar (awesome mojitos and great food) and sun beds both on the beach and on the grass in the shade. There is a small street market 30 seconds from the apartment, and a bigger one is 5 minutes walk, another two are 5 minutes by car. To the Chania city centre it takes literally 10 minutes by car when the traffic is high and on the other side it is not in the centre itself so it's peaceful. A variety of the popular Crete beaches can be reached within 1hr of driving which made this an excellent base camp for those trips.
Maria gave us some very nice tips on where to eat in Chania town, and she wasn't wrong about the wonderful food :)
I would absolutely recommend this place for all parties of 4 or more people as it has to offer everything that is needed for a very comfortable holiday (and to be honest exceeded our expectations)
