Alex's place is awesome. I travel a lot, often alone, and this for a week was perfect. It's not downtown Chania but the 11 bus on the corner every 15 minutes gets you there for €1,20 (or €2 on the bus) in about 15 minutes. The view is stunning and feels very private, the kitchen has pretty much everything you might need,the shower is fantastic, and clothes washing is also possible. Parking is right next to the front door. Communication with Alex was always quick and easy, and check-in / out was no issue. The coffee machine died while I was there and he bought a new one immediately. I obviously had a great week. Highly recommended :)
