We had a great time at Elina's place. She was very arranging on the time of arrival and welcomed us in person : she took the time to explain to us all the different places we should go around Xania during our stay and provided us with many good restaurants adresses. She totally made us feel at home in her apartment which is very well decorated, comfortable and well equipped (kitchen tools, beach materials such as towels and an umbrella).
The apartment is also very well located : 10min walk from the old town in a quiet street close to supermarkets, bakeries and some restaurants. It was also easy to park around.
We fully recommend Elina's place for a stay in Xania and would come back for sure if we ever travel again to Crete.
