Ruby's home was a five star experience from start to finish. The flat decor is tasteful and original. Everything is available if you want to cook and eat "at home", the beds are extremely comfortable with lovely bed linen, everything was sparkling clean. The air-conditioning is powerful, and coped with outside temperatures in the upper 30s. There is a good baker, and two reasonable supermarkets a block or two away, as well as other shops and cafes/bars. The area is a quiet residential part of Chania, and very safe. You can walk to the old town in 10 minutes; we hired a car and had no problem parking on the street. Access to the main East-West highway was easy and simple.
We agree 100% with all the positive comments made about this apartment, and especially the wonderful welcome from Ruby's extended family, and particularly from her Grandmother, Mother and Cousin! It was a totally relaxing and enjoyable stay, made more so by all the personal and thoughtful touches.
