Plastiras's house really is in a fantastic location for exploring Chania - the old town with all its tavernas and shops is a quick stroll away, as is the beach. Despite the parking spaces on the street being in high demand, we never had to go far to find a space and frequently managed to park (for free) near the apartment. Another guest mentioned barking dogs, but we did not find these to be a problem- barking stopped around 10 pm and did not disturb our sleep. It is a very quiet neighbourhood with good amenities.
The apartment itself is well tucked away from the street and offers a cool haven away from the hot sun. Plastiras was welcoming and warm, and an accommodating host throughout. Jasmine on the table for our arrival was an especially nice touch. The one drawback we found was a musty smell in the warderobe and kitchen cupboard.
