Our hostess Maria, met us at the house when we arrived. She was most helpful, and we felt free to contact her or her daughter anytime we needed. The house was very nice and clean, with a good-sized front porch/terrasse. The location is great, two minutes walk and you're standing with your feet in the sea. The area is calm and quiet compared to Chanias old town, but you still have a wide choice of restaurants and cafes ten steps from the front porch. The old town and port of Chania is just a ten-fifteen minute walk away. The sightseeing bus stops nearby, and also the local buses. There are several mini-markets in the neighbourhood, and if you require a real supermarkets there are a couple of those closer to the city centre. Maria and her daughter came by to change the beds and towels twice during our one-week stay, and even brought us a bottle of white wine. They couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, and I would love to stay with them again. My warmest recommendations for this hostess and her lovely, super-clean house!
