The apartment may not be in the city centre, but this was not a problem for us, as we enjoyed the 10-15minute walk to a very attractive beach and slightly longer to the Harbour and many restaurants of the old town
A nearby bakery and supermarket were only minutes away, so it was easy to stock up on provisions for cooking in the apartment’s well appointed kitchen
Being on the western side of Chania gave very easy access to the highway, so those with a car will find no difficulties driving out to either the east or west of the island. The only problem we had was on arrival at the airport, as the hire car SatNav was not easy to program with the exact street of the apartment. Having a parking space for a small car at the property was a bonus; but there is plenty of space just outside for larger vehicles
The apartment was very spacious and comfortable, with air conditioning in all rooms. A small balcony had a limited view, but was still enjoyed for our breakfasts and evening meals
The apartment owner lived downstairs and was extremely generous with their time advising about places to see and things to do; plus provided some unexpected extras in the way of fruits, home produced olives, honey and delicious raki.
If the walking distance to the town centre is not a problem then this place is highly recommended
