The apartment was perfect to kick off our honeymoon in Greece and give us a home base for exploring western Crete.
Location was the absolute best - within ten minutes walking distance to every point within the old city, a block from the main bus station (ideal if you want to hike Samaria Gorge), surrounded by all the retail outlets you could need (including multiple grocery stores), and easy parking nearby (ideal if you want to drive to Elafonisi and/or Balos). I repeat, you will not find a better location if you want to participate in all that western Crete has to offer.
The apartment was comfortable, immaculate and looked exactly as pictured in the listing. Towels and linens were all white and the bed was extremely comfortable. There’s plenty of space to spread out and make yourself at home and the apartment is well stocked with appliances - we especially appreciated the espresso machine. Air conditioning and hot water were just like at home. The balcony was even better in person than in the photos - breathtaking views morning, noon, and night.
Last, and most importantly to us when we stay in someone’s home, Katerina and Nikos were top notch hosts. Communication before, during and after our stay was immediate and clear. Our flight was delayed coming into Chania and Nikos had no problem meeting us very late in the evening to check us in. He helped us find free parking, assisted with our luggage, walked us up to the apartment and quickly gave us the lay of the land as he could tell we were exhausted.
