I have to divide this review in two. Firstly the apartment itself. The apartment is large and spacious, spotlessly clean. The balcony is fantastic with amazing views of the sea and church. The host was very responsive and helpful and sent a really extensive guide about attractions etc in Chania. However to the second part of my review, that of the location. Had I known of how far this apartment was from Chania centre I would not have booked. Now this is largely my fault for not researching more closely however other reviews did say it wasn't far or about 30 minutes on foot but that doesn't tell the full story. To get to Chania centre, whether the old town or the bus station that we used most days to get around, it is a brisk 35 minutes on a very busy road with very poor pedestrian walk ways. If early morning or late evening this is doable however in 34C heat during the day, its not practical. Furthermore taxis are hard to get out there and are reluctant in the town to go there. Lastly in the vicinity, there are a few restaurants however they are 15 minutes walk away and there are no bars. Overall its an amazing apartment but for others like me I just want to emphasise you're not really in Chania.
