We absolutely loved this room, the location, and the balcony view. It's right on the beach within walking distance to all of the main attractions and nightlife and bay, but quiet and away from the crowds. The location was absolutely perfect. Parking was easy and communication from the host was great.
The apartment is above a coffee shop right on the beach. A few steps and you are in a spacious room with a full kitchen, bathroom, fireplace, couch, and bedroom, with a balcony overlooking the water. The longer we stayed the more we fell in love with this place and the location. When bars closed we would walk along the beach and explore the other side of Chania at night...sit om the balcony with wine and just listen to the waves and the moon over the water...it was perfect. The host's son greeted us right away and made us feel welcome. He suggested restaurants and bars and all were amazing. He review wi-fi access and check-out and let us know to call or message if we needed anything. The host stopped in to say hello so it appeared to be mother and son, and both were friendly and welcoming. The shower pressure was amazing and the lighting was perfect. We had a large refrigerator for wine, juice, water and food so we could stock up and keep every chilled. The bed was very comfortable as well. Our only regret was that we would have stayed one or two more nights. We visited Athens and Santorini before Crete and Chania was our favorite of the trip. Uf you plan to visit Elafonisi and Balos or Samaria and want to see Chania which is an absolutely beautiful city in itself, you'll need at least 4 or 5 days. We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days and wish we had anither day or two. We plan on staying again when we return to Crete in 2022. Do not hesitate and book this room! You will be so happy you did!
