The apartment was clean and equipped with everything we needed for our stay, including excellent Internet connection, plenty of towels and clean bed linen. (There were also cooking basics such as salt, pepper, oil, herbs and sugar, plus washing up liquid and toilet paper.) The apartment is located within 2 minutes' walk of a basic mini-market, which is great for the first shop, and 1 minute to Nea Chora beach, with plenty of well-priced tavernas along the beach serving delicious food and wine. The Old Port and Old Town are within a 15- to 20-minute walk (the same route along the seafront makes a lovely run route too) and the bus station was an easy 10-15 minutes walk (amazingly good service on modern buses, would highly recommend using buses to explore e.g. Stavros 2.30 euros, airport 2.50 euros). The small balcony at the front was sunny in the morning and you can see the sea and watch the world go by eating your breakfast there. At the back is a small balcony where you can hang towels and washing (the apartment has a washing machine). Alkis met us at the apartment and gave us local tips and information. He is the kind of host you hope for: organised, knowledgeable, kind and polite. On our last day he even looked after our luggage all day after we had checked out (we had a late-evening flight) and met us with it at the bus station. I highly recommend this apartment if you want to be close to everything Chania has to offer, close to a sandy beach yet away from more touristy Old Town.
