My stay at Giannis' place was incredible. From booking to the actual location - Giannis was quick to respond to questions and provided great information (from the bus to take from the airport and a map from the station to the apartment so I could walk, to pointers on what hikes to go on and what mode of transport to take). I was looking for a quiet place to relax and get away from chaotic work. This is a 15 minute walk (even if you stop to watch the locals fish off the docks for a few minutes) down the beach from the Old Venetian harbour. Literally steps from a quiet beach - I had my coffee and a swim there each morning. The studio itself is immaculate and features a little garden that you can sit in and smell the local bakery smells waft over in the morning. It really does get you out of the chaos of Chania. If you are looking for a quiet home base, close to the beach and close to the sites of Chania this is the best place I could hope for.
