The stay at Manolis' apartment really exceeded our expectations. The apartment seemed even more spacious in reality than on the pictures, so there was more than enough space for 5 people. Everything was super clean, and Manolis' wife even brought us fresh towels and offered to change our bed linens halfway through our stay. The kitchen is very well equipped, so cooking and preparing our meals there was really fun.
We also loved the location of the place. It's in walking distance of the city center, but taking a taxi there is also inexpensive. The nearest beach, bakery and (small) supermarket are all 5 minutes away, and there are a lot of other beaches west of Chania which you should definitely explore too! Chania is also a great starting point for trips to the whole western part of Crete.
Lastly, the host was super friendly and communication was really good. We can fully recommed this place for a relaxed beach vacation in Greece.
