Georgios was an amazing host! Not only had he prepared travel tips and maps for our stay, but he drove us to the supermarket when we first arrived, so we could stock up and avoid a 33 degree walk with bags after travelling all morning - it really made a difference!
The penthouse was a perfect getaway for my partner and I, who wanted a relaxing week. We were able to get into the Chania old town quickly enough (short bus ride or ~30m walk) and/or head out on day trips (e.g. Samaria Gorge) when we wanted more action. For us, the location was nicely away from the main touristy action and we were able to enjoy watching the sunset from the penthouse with a private BBQ and visit local coffee houses / fish taverns etc. The balcony is great to relax on (there's a hammock, lounge chairs etc) and if the heat is too much, a nice air-conditioned living room. I would definitely recommend staying at Georgios' apartment, we had a fantastic time!
