The apartment was bigger than it looked in the pictures! When we arrived, it was very clean - Angela also changed the sheets and the whole flat one more time during our short stay. Angela herself is extremely helpful and kind, and stayed up late to wait for us to arrive from the airport. Platanias is not very cozy as a location, as it's very touristic. But it's a great base to drive to other locations, including Chania (15 mins drive), Falassarna, Kissamos and Balos (all 45mins or less) and Lake Kournas. Within Platanias, Oliaria Apartments stands out as one of the nicest and coziest, and it lives away from the main road which is a huge plus. It also has a really nice patio and balcony. All basics function really well: shower, AC and kitchen are all in great conditions. Although we never ate at home, the apartment comes with all basic appliances to cook, and included salt, sugar and coffee. Highly recommend!
