Katarina’s apartment was perfect for our four-night stay in Chania. It’s spacious, well-maintained and nicely decorated. The two balconies are wonderful places to relax in between outings. It’s a little outside the bustle of the heart of the old town, but the advantages of this were quiet nights and the availability of parking, which made it easy to get in and out of the city for day trips. It’s a two-minute walk to the ocean, and then a very pleasant 10-minute stroll along the waterfront takes you to the city’s scenic core. There are also pharmacies, a super market, coffee shops and a great bakery all within a few minutes’ walk. On top of all this, Katarina and Gogo are amazing hosts, answering questions promptly and providing very helpful driving instructions. Their much-appreciated gifts — home-made olive oil, raki and herbal tea — added a personal touch that made us feel at home. We would stay here again without hestitation.
