The apartment was great and just what we were looking for. The location is superb for the money with a view of the old port and it means you can pop into the old town and back to the apartment with ease (especially useful when a thunder storm hits). The balcony gets the afternoon sun so is a great spot for a beer and game of backgammon whilst watching the bustle around the old port. John was an excellent host - sent through details for parking, recommendations of where to eat and drink and things to do. He was also very quick to respond if we had any other questions. There are a couple flights of stairs to get up but it all helps burn off the incredible ice cream you can find just around the corner.
Highly recommend it for a stay for exploring Chania.
