We stayed for a month across January and February and everything was perfect.
Michalis and his sister Katerina were great hosts from beginning to end. We had quite a few questions before booking due to the travelling situation, communication was fast and helpful, which continued throughout our month long stay.
The Location is ideal, just one street away from Chania’s Venetian harbour and right in the middle of the Old Town, close to everything. Most of the restaurants and bars etc. were closed while we were there for obvious reasons, but this is clearly an ideal location to be near everything, including the grocery shops, a good wine shop at the end of the road and a great starting point to head out for walks or sight seeing.
The property has clearly been completely refurbished recently. Everything was pristine and much of it brand new when we arrived. The ground floor has a dining table and two large sofas, massive flatscreen TV and a very functional kitchen with everything you could need – especially helpful when restaurants etc. aren’t open. The master bedroom is on the first floor with a cute little balcony and a coffee table onto the quiet street at the front of the property – gets the sun during the first half of the day. There’s also a single bedroom on that floor, which I used as my office.
The second floor has a double bedroom and utility room which is really helpful for laundry etc. Then the roof terrace, also on the second floor, is fantastic! There’s a hot tub / large bath tub with jets that was awesome. We used it several times, even in the middle of winter, a unique feature, along with the dining and lounging furniture, meant we spent a lot of time on the roof!
The WiFi is really fast throughout the property, including on the roof, so if you’re looking to work / participate in video calls etc. from here, you won’t have any issues with that. We were both using it regularly and never had any problems.
There’s a bathroom with a shower on each floor too which is helpful, even though we only really used the main one on the first floor.
Overall, everything was perfect, with lovely little extra touches on arrival (olive oil, wine, oranges, delicious melomakarona biscuits and more), also a whole load of other groceries that we’d asked for, because we had to quarantine for a week on arrival.
Very highly recommended, we’d very happily come back.
