We chose this location because we wanted to be close to the beaches, away from the city, but still have the option of going into the city if we wanted! The bus stop is just outside of the apartment down a steep road, so day trips to Chania or elsewhere were a breeze. There are at least three beaches within a reasonable walking distance. There are also two large grocery stores about 1.5km away (easily reachable by bus), and the kitchen in the apartment is outfitted with everything you might need if you wanted to stay home and cook.
Checking in and arriving at the apartment was so streamlined. From Chania, the local bus lines 15 and 21 take you directly to the bus stop outisde of the apartment. We met with Anastasia, our check in assistant, and she gave us invaluable tips about where to go and how to get around. She also gave us her contact information and was very prompt in responding to any messages. The owner of the apartment who lived upstairs was also available in case we had any questions or concerns, and even brought us some oranges from her farm when we arrived. Being able to contact someone quickly and easily really gave us peace of mind when it came to our stay.
