Sofia's apartment was PERFECT for my boyfriend and I. We were looking for a place on/very close to the beach but still within short walking distance to Chania, and this proved to be the perfect spot. The apartment is half a block from the Nea Chora beach, which felt like our own personal beach compared to some of the more popular/touristy beaches like Balos Beach or Elafonissi (both of which are still a must see) but it was nice to have a less crowded place to start our day and unwind at the end of the day. We walked into Chania almost every day for either lunch or dinner and was an easy 10-15 minute walk along the water. Basically, location wise this place is perfect. The apartment itself was great too! One bedroom with a nice comfortable bed and ample closet/drawer space to unpack. The kitchen and living room space was great as well, and we really enjoyed the balcony space too. Parking was a must have for us since we had a rental car and that was located right underneath the apartment. Sofia was great and super responsive during the booking process and throughout our stay. She offered great suggestions for things to do and had recommendations for where to eat in different areas of Crete. We really appreciated all her suggestions and felt as if we had our own personal concierge. I would highly recommend Sofia's apartment for anyone looking to stay around Chania!
