This apartment is the perfect pace to experience Chania by foot or by car. The apartment is one block from the harbor area. It offers a beautiful balcony and rooftop patio that allows you to feel both immersed in the activity yet protected in your own space. The shutters block out any noise and light from the cafes and bars if that is your preference. The apartment is bright, very clean, and tastefully decorated with just enough art to make it feel welcoming but not cluttered. We were able to use the rooftop balcony even in the extreme heat thanks to the large umbrella, and spent an evening at the small table on the balcony taking in the sounds and activity. We did not prepare any meals in the kitchen, but it has everything you need to put together a simple breakfast to a heartier dinner. Coffee, water, bread and a few grocery items were thoughtfully provided along with lovely dinner ware and glasses. There is a nice entryway on the ground floor with a small closet that includes the washer (very handy) and space to leave beach gear, shoes etc. The second sleeping space may be used as a gathering area during the day. The bathroom sink is in this area, but my son still felt that he had his own space for sleeping and his things. We were able to find parking for our rental car every day in a small courtyard located a minute walk up the street. Evangelia, the host, was wonderful offering suggestions, making sure we had what we needed, and being very flexible with our uncertain arrival time.
