We had such a wonderful time at Esther's place. Esther was very nice and helpful, arranged a taxi from and to the airport and there were even some groceries when we arrived (so we didn't have to go shopping the first thing upon arrival).
We were a group of two families with four little children and this place was just perfect for us. On the rare occasions we were successful fishing the kids out of the marvelous pool, the beach was pretty and within a comfortable walking distance even for a two-year-old.
Chania is about 15 mins by public bus and is definitely worth seeing.
I would totally recommend the house; in fact, I want to go back this very moment.
