I don't think there is a better view from any patio in all of Chania...this apt is not located downtown but is just a short driving distance (10 mins). We really enjoyed staying "up" on the hill and driving down to the square. We booked this at the last minute and Frosso was amazingly responsive and accommodating. A short walk from the apt gets you to two different grocery stores...we never walked to a restaurant but had most of our meals downtown. I reccomend parking in the public area...driving in the city can be a little challenging. We LOVED the town of Chania and we loved all of the people. The restaurants were fantastic and there were tons of stores in the city that sold purely local products, not the imported stuff. We spent every evening on the patio and enjoyed going over our day. Tons of beaches near the property. Awesome property and hosts, We will be back!!!
