We spent two nights in the apartment of Stelios in Chania. The apartment is very well situated: on walking distance from the bus station, the beach and the beautiful old center of Chania. We never had to use public transport. The apartment itself is very nice, clean and spacious. There is a balcony on two sides and upstairs you have access to a lovely terrace with nice views over the neighborhood. Very good for drinking a glass of wine at the end of the afternoon. The bed is comfortable, the air conditioning excellent. At night it is very quiet. It is so much nicer to be just outside the main tourist center and live between locals, still being in 10 minutes walking where all the action is.
Stelios is a very nice host, we had some very interesting discussions about Greece. He pointed out where we could get the best souvlaki of Chania (indeed very tasteful), the best fish restaurant near the beach, the nearby supermarket etc. We had a great time in the apartment, thank you Stelios and hope to see you again.
