Chania is a perfect home base for Crete and we wish we had stayed a lot longer than 3 days. This apartment is a beautifully renovated historic property located right on the edge of the harbor and within easy walking distance of all of the amenities and sights of old town Chania.
There are two independent upstairs and downstairs suites, which provide plenty of privacy, with a small living room below and kitchen above. But you will likely spend your time on the large roof deck with excellent views of the water and sunsets over the mountains to the west.
Natalia is a professional host who was very good at communications and arranged a taxi from the airport at midnight. The following day, she came to the apartment to help orient us to Chania and also arranged an excursion to Samaria Gorge (recommended).
We did not rent a car until our departure, but there is a large public parking area just down the street for those who have one.
There are numerous restaurant options in the immediate area, but we discovered the newly opened vegetarian restaurant directly next door which served delicious fresh food and had a friendly owner and staff.
