Best hosts ever and a very nice place to stay- you´ll dream about moving in ;-)
Maria & Manos are the best host you can imagine - you get some really good recommondations, a kind welcome gift and they were so kind to bring some tea and honey for my boyfriend as he got sick.
The apartment is very cozy, mixture of mediterran feeling and student apartment. Everything was very clean, you can cook and store all you can imagine. The bathroom is also cozy - could not imagine a cozy bath before, but the managed it- with a really big shower. If you do not close the window the cock may wake you up - but no problem just chill in the hammock and look in the green valley :-).
Chania is a perfect starting point to start for culture (city center of Chania), beaches (Elafonissi, Balos..) or to do some hiking (Imbros, Topolia gorge). West-Kreta is also greener than East-Kreta, which is more to my taste. We had a rental car, so I cannot say if the apartment is a good starting point, if you only drive by bus. We walked twice to the city center (35 minutes), which is okay but not perfect.
