The flat is very spacious and communication is very easy with the host. The sun does come on the balcony towards the afternoon and you can see a splendid sunset over the mountain from that balcony.
The flat is at a perfect location both for beach and old town / harbour. If would stay for more than 3 days, you might want to rent a car and there is free parking on the street. The neighbourhood / street is very quiet so you wont have issues with hearing traffic. The only issue we had was that we could hear the neighbours a lot (toilet, shower, their dog, any sorts of alarm, coughing and more...).
Overall it was a great stay and I would still recommend this flat to stay in Chania.
