Eleni & her family were so welcoming. On arrival our flight got delayed from Birmingham by an hour which caused us being really late. We got our hire car from Goldcar which were very good and cheap, they picked us up from the airport and dropped us off. We arrived at V Life just after midnight and Eleni stayed awake until we arrived to get us settled in. This was very thoughtful of her and was so welcoming. She was brilliant to get hold off when we landed and already knew our flight was delayed. The Apartments are so modern, clean and spacious. The bed was two singles pushed together but with a thick bed topper so the beds stayed together and you could not tell they were singles. We were impressed! There were spare blankets which we grabbed the first night as we were tired and cold. We had everything we needed in the room. The tv had an english channel which was brilliant. The hair dryer was good. The maid cleaned and made our bed everyday! She hung towels out on our balcony and was very friendly. We didn't need up cooking in the kitchen because the restaurants in the local town were too good! The bathroom must have been new as we had a walk in shower and it was poshly tiled. It was a nice surprise! The pool and gardens were so clean!! It was spotless! We enjoyed lying next to the pool on the sun beds under the umbrellas and sitting on our private balcony. It was very relaxing with the birds. We did already know there is a main road near by which you cannot see but can hear. This didn't bother us at all after a day. Also the view out of back of our room of the mountains was breath taking. The communication with Eleni and her family was 5 star! I spoke to Eleni several times and she was so helpful! We asked her opinion on places to see. She suggested lots and we tried to do what we could! Old town Chania, boat trip from Kissamos port to Gramvousa Island and Balos Bay (bought tickets at port), near to Kissamos is Falásarna bay/beach this place is stunning especially if your driving down the hill. Vamos, Vryses (yummy patisserie cafe, worth a visit), Lake Kournas (stunning clear lake, pedalos, fish, eels and turtles to see), Theorisos gorge is a brilliant drive. We also met Elenis' mum and sister at breakfast. The breakfast was a great experience! It is a must!
This was our first time using Airbnb abroad and we were not let down! Thank you Eleni x
