We had an enjoyable stay at Maria's peaceful nest. The house is tiny but is well structured and has everything you need for a short stay (like shown in the pictures). Maria is very friendly and a kind host, she is available to the guests at all time and is happy to help with any question/problem it might arise. It might be a translation issue, but we were expecting the property to be 100% exclusive to us, and that was not the case. Maria's house and its courtyard is located within a shared space with other people (Maria's family), their house and the rental space is separated by a banana plant (like in the picture). They were extremely respectful of our space and were only around for doing the gardening (not using the courtyard) but you might still expect to see someone around.
The house is located close to Chania city center, 5-10' by car and about 30' walking. It has two supermarkets very close to it.
Overall it was a pleasant stay.
