Lefteris is THE BEST host I've met at Airbnb! My ferry from Athens was due to arrive at 5:30 am and the temperature was 4-5 degree C outside. Lefteris agreed to let me check in early. He got up to get the apartment ready at 6 am! My ferry was actually a little late, and he waited there for about 30 min to meet me and show me around the house. He was full of warmth and passion, such a lovely person!
And his house is absolutely lovely, too. The rooms are spacious, plenty of natural light from the windows through which you could see a slice of the sea. The blankets are soft and warm. And the hot water gave me a much needed nice shower after an overnight ferry trip. The rooftop patio provides a great view. The house with wood, bricks, plaster has a lot of characteristics, especially the rugs and the furniture. The ground floor living room is like a museum of Chania's memories.
Of course, the location is superb. It's literally steps away that you just walk out of the alley and be amazed by the blue sea and the light house. The old Venetian harbor, the mosque, plenty of seaside restaurants, all within minutes of walk. In 10 minutes' walk you'll reach the central shopping area, with markets, groceries stores, street foods, and the bus station.
I just wish I could stay there for a little longer. I can't wait to go back to Chania and stay at Lefteris' Calypso already!
