Aikaterini was an excellent host; very thorough in her explanations of the area and very responsive. The flat was adorably decorated and perfectly situated in the most beautiful part of town. While this part of town is also the most touristy, you do not need to travel far at all to get a less commercialized, authentic experience. Hania is well connected by bus to different parts of the island so it served as a great base for day trips to see Crete's spectacular beaches. We hope to return someday! I would without a doubt recommend this apartment to anyone looking to stay in Hania.
