The rooftop studio was absolutely incredible. It felt like a small beach cabin getaway, but was near the city which meant amazing 360 degree views of the city, the mountains, and the sea (and the sunsets! 😍). It was only a short walk to Old Town Chaniá and an even shorter walk to a local market. The air conditioning was much appreciated as I arrived during a 103 degree heat wave.
Anastasia was a kind host. She checked in regularly when she came up to water her flowers on the terrace. (She is a plant lover and the plants, trees, and flowers on the terrace add an extra ounce of beauty to an already stunning scene.)
Anastasia lent me a towel for the beach, brought me fresh fruit, she offered suggestions for local fare, and suggested renting a car which allowed me to get to some areas on Crete that were not quickly accessible from Chaniá.
I would recommend Anastasia's place to anyone and if I have the opportunity to return to Chaniá, I would feel lucky to stay there again.
