Manos place is really great, if you are looking to call Chania your home base.
It is situated steps away from the ocean in one direction, and in the other your steps away from Chanias vibrant markets and restaurants. I really don't think you could find a house that is more central than Manos place.
The house itself is really well decorated and a very comfortable place for your stay. It is a cool mesh between some of the historic elements of the house and updated for a comfortable stay. Lovely place to spend our time here and very spacious. There was no noise for us sleeping despite being so close to a busy area which was nice.
Manos as a host was awesome. He say down with us when we came in and spend as much time as we needed to pick his brain on local tips and to get to know him over some Raki and cookies. He definitely went above and beyond and will definitely help you maximize your experience in Crete.
The only downside with this, was parking. Parking was a bit of a nightmare but it comes with the territory of being so central. You can still rent a car and park down the street, just don't count on the parking space in front of the house being available.
Overall the stay was amazing! Thanks again manos!
