What a delightful apartment! I must admit that when searching for the right place to stay for our four days in Crete, the photo of Ruby’s pink sofa caught my eye. I decided that if Ruby had a design sense that included such a bold element, the rest of her apartment would be tastefully decorated and cared for, as well. I was right!
The apartment is simply, but attractively appointed. The entire apartment has gorgeous high ceilings with beautiful crown molding and inlays. The kitchen is modern with good-looking cabinetry, and is well-stocked with cooking gear, dishes and glassware. The bedrooms and bathroom are also quite comfortable. The air-conditioning works well and is quiet for sleeping. We used it frequently, as it was a bit warm in Chania during our time there.
The apartment is located in a relatively quiet neighborhood, bursting with stunning, red bougainvillea. It is an easy and enjoyable walk to the wonderful Old Town of Chania. In fact, we did not use our rental car once we arrived at Ruby’s, only jumping back in it to venture to Imbros Gorge and Elafonissi Beach.
One minor annoyance was the incorrect information for the WiFi network and password. However, we were able to fix the issue quickly and smoothly by contacting Ruby through AirBnB messages. In fact, we found Ruby to be extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
We did meet Ruby’s mother and can see what a kind and upbeat spirit that she has!
All in all, we can highly recommend Ruby’s place for its excellent proximity to the Old Town of Chania, its charming décor, comfortable furnishings and fair pricing. Well done, Ruby!
