First of all, if you are coming to Chania, you must stay here!
Personally, I'm not a big fan of staying in the middle of tourist area or town center.
From this airbnb to the town center, you can easily grab a town bus (1.20 euro) and it'll take 10 minuyes. This way, you get to experience real Cretan life, and go through residential area too.
Also, the view from the apartment is phenomenal. I always woke up before sunrise to check out.
The room is large enough for two people and terrace is wide.
Helen met me at the bus station and drove me to the apartment. She even baked a cake for me! Whenever I had questions, she replied kindly and very fast.
I was going to visit other cities in Chania, but I just loved her apartment and the neighborhood, so I extended my stay for 2 more days. She prepared new linens and even did laundry for me (thank you so much!!). There is a ocean 'pool' 3 minutes walk from the apt and this is where all the locals hang out in the morning. Quite good restaurants near by too. I wish I could post some view pictures of the view...
Thanks again Helen for everything and hope to meet you again :)
