The location was exactly what we were hoping for. It was quiet, the neighbors were friendly and we were were close enough to drive into Chania whenever we liked. We were here during the off-season, so many of the most local restaurants (walkable) were already closed so we can't comment on that, but the nearby recommendations that required a short drive were all amazing. Eva was so attentive and responsive to our questions, and even brought us wood for the fireplace which made the view magical at night. Though I might advise a resort stay for some first-time travelers to the island if coming from the US (driving especially can take some getting used to once you leave the highway), we were well prepared and much preferred to stay outside of the tourist area for a more relaxed and genuine experience. The welcome goodies were also hugely appreciated after our late arrival. <3
