Alexis is a very helpful and responsive host. Whenever we needed something that was not provided he dropped it round very quickly. The apartment is well priced, although it is not top of the range the price reflects that and we found it to be comfortable and clean enough and it was nice to have the space and the balcony. The bed is comfortable. Be prepared for some mosquitoes wherever you are in this area. It is a short 1km from the beach and around the corner from two mini markets and the bus route into Chania. Although being close to the (civil and military) airport is handy Kalathas is on the flightpath and this can be a bit noisy in the daytime (thankfully not at night).
Note that most tours to Samaria Gorge do not pick up from this peninsular which is a problem as all leave before the public bus starts to run. Fortunately though Gelaskis Travel were able to arrange one through IO Tours so I recommend them if that is on your to do list.
