I stayed at Elina's place with a friend and we couldn't be more happy and impressed. The apartment looks exactly as it is on the photos and Elina's description holds up perfectly. The building is a family building- Elina lives on the top floor next to the airbnb apartment, her cousin lives on the second floor and her grandma on the first. The building is surrounded by beautiful flowers and is wonderfully maintained by her grandma in a safe and quiet neighborhood. In Elina's absence (she was at school), we were greeted by her lovely parents who had already prepared wine for us as well as a bowl of Greek salad with fresh feta, water melon and cake in the fridge. Before they left us to enjoy those goodies, they gave us an overview of the area and made recommendations for restaurants, day trips and beaches one shouldn't miss. We immediately felt at home and had an orientation for the city and our trip. We even received maps with further recommendations and directions that Elina had designed and illustrated herself in order to help her guests avoid tourist traps and see the most beautiful aspects of Chania. Breakfast for the first two days, raki, coke, water, tea and coffee were also provided. The apartment has a perfectly functioning AC,wifi, free street parking, clean sheets and towels (both beach and bath), shampoo and body wash, drawers for clothes, a radio etc in addition to regular amenities. Elina's dad brought us two more slices of grandma's homemade cake on our second day and made sure we had everything we needed. Although we saw the family a lot and were well taken care of, we also always had our privacy and never felt overwhelmed. One night, I injured my hand really badly with a knife and had to get stitches. Elina's dad, who luckily happened to come by, immediately took us to the ER and managed everything for us. Afterwards he drove us around the city to find an open pharmacy on a sat night when most were closed. We couldn't have been more grateful for his concern, support and the time he invested. We couldn't recommend this place, which highly exceeded our expectations, more. Being only 10 minutes from the town center adds the cherry on top. And don't miss out on eating at Tamam! It's delicious.
