I have been using Airbnb for the last 5 years and I must say that Charalabos is the best host I have ever met.
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to pick us up from the Chania port so early in the morning (6.30 am), treating us to such a wonderful traditional Cretan breakfast, helping us store our luggage in your car before picking us from town and sending us to your apartment, and sharing so many good tips about Chania (tried them all, and everything’s really good). Throughout our stay, he never failed to ask us how we were and if we needed anything. My wife and I actually forgot to pack our daughter’s music box when we left his apartment and he very kindly took the trouble to help us find it and mailed it to us in Santorini. Thank you so much for this Charalabos! Charalabos really isn’t just an Airbnb Superhost, he’s really your super kind and super friendly Uncle from Crete who’s hosting you for your visit. Really appreciate the kindness, hospitality and friendship! On the day when we checked in, he even sent one of his guests who was checking out of our apartment (and who was sick) to the airport.
His apartment is really well located and equipped. 3 mins walk from the bus station (really helpful for doing day trips from Chania) and 10 mins walk from the City Centre and Old Town. It just can’t get any better! The apartment itself was very clean and had everything you needed for your stay and to cook your meals (though I won’t recommend cooking since Chania has got really really good food which you must try). Beds were very comfortable and the shower’s water pressure was strong and good. One thing I particularly enjoyed was the espresso machine and excellent coffee which he provided, together with tea, a bottle of wine, Raki and two beers. Very thoughtful and great touches.
If you’re still considering whether or not to book your stay, please do yourself a favor. Stop looking around and book your stay immediately. You will really thank yourself for the choice.
