Dimitrios was very helpful before and after arrival. The house is tiny, basic and best suitable for a couple but can place a third person on the sofa bed in the kitchen/front room if necessary. It's clean and if you need anything Dimitrios responds to messages very quickly.
There isn't an outside space really but you're close to the town and Nea Chora beach is a 20 min walk. The only negative thing i can say about this place is the church bells that go off every half hour. As charming as they may be they are loud and my two teenage daughters didn't appreciate them at all...
The monastery is conveniently located in the old town where you have everything you'll need within minutes of walking. Chania town is buzzing and so incredibly pretty! Cobble streets, beautiful old houses and plenty of lovely restaurants. I would definitely recommend Chania and staying at the Monastery.
