I had the best time staying at Emmanuel and Yanni's place. They are great hosts and the apartment is super comfortable. I stayed here for a week with my friend and her daughter so there were three of us. We were very comfortable. My friends took the room downstairs and I took the room upstairs. There was plenty of space for all of us to have our privacy and the beds were super comfortable. All of the A/C's worked very well during the hot summer month of July and the place was kept extremely clean. You have all the amenities including plenty of toilet paper, shampoo, soap, towels and two places to hang clothing that needs to dry.
Asamina is the owner and she lives next door. She is incredibly caring and kind. She would check on us every day and offer us amazing snacks on a daily basis. She cleaned and changed our bedding and towels while we were there too. I really felt like she took us in as personal guests.
The location was perfect for us. It is far away from Chania town so that you don't feel so crowded in the middle of summer, but yet it is a short and beautiful walk into town so you can explore the beautiful town of Chania. The apartment is only 50 meters from the beach and you can actually see the ocean and feel the sea breeze from the upstairs balcony. There are plenty of restaurants in Nea Chora so it is great to spend the day at the beach, have your breakfast or lunch, and then walk into Chania to see the sunset, have a bite to eat and shop.
I believe this family and Emmanuel and Yannis demonstrate the true hospitality of Crete. We were really looked after very well and I can't wait to return.
