There were five of us who stayed at Nikos' place. My friends got there first; Nikos was very helpful and agreed to check them in early, since the check-in time was 4PM and their plane landed in the morning. They were warmly greeted by Nikos and his family, who were very hospitable and offered us snacks, raki, vegetables from their garden and cookies baked by Nikos' wife. The house is very big and clean, newly renovated and looks exactly like in the pictures. The bedrooms are of roughly equal size and situated upstairs, with large terraces connected to each room. The living room downstairs is huge. Kitchen comes fully equipped in case you like to cook. There were nice flowers in the living room and bathrooms. Various toiletries were also present in the bathrooms. The location is also great, literally a few steps away from the beach in Stalos. Chania is about 20-25 minutes away by car, while Platanias is 10 minutes away. Big thank you to Nikos and his family for being so gracious with us. Highly recommended!
