The place is exactly what you pay for: amazing location but with its flaws. The house is very basic, but it has all of the amenities one might need for a vacation.
The terrace is delightful for a private homemade dinner in one of the centermost streets in Chania, but the backstreet view is utterly awful (a bunch of abandoned places with overgrown trees).
Unfortunately, we haven’t had the chance to meet the host, with whom we communicated via text message (and not even that much, for he stopped to reply the day we landed).
