We booked Niko's place pretty last minute without the usual research we'd do. We wanted somewhere homely, with a pool, nice view but still walkable to Chania.
It was a pretty cool trendy place to stay and definitely felt very homely with nice touches. It did have a pool but unfortunately we didn't get to use it because it was freezing, maybe it would get more sun at other times of year. Unfortunately the view of Chania and sunset would have been stunning but there is a block of flats that obscures it, which we would have realised with a Street view search I'm sure.
We walked to and from Chania one day (45 mins to the harbour) but it wasn't the nicest walk until the last 10 mins or so so we drove the rest of the time.
The WiFi was a bit patchy which usually we would embrace but it meant our baby monitor didn't work that well and one of us had to stay in the house during nap time which was a shame. Although our baby didn't like the travel cot it was the safest one we've been provided so far when travelling in Europe.
Anastasia who checked us in was great! She was really helpful and gave great suggestions. We also met the house owner who seemed lovely.
