I really enjoyed my stay at Alkis! I was picked up from the bus station which was super helpful. I had no idea that the Herkalion airport was three hours from Chania so that short car ride with my luggage was much appreciated. The place is huge, clean and tastefully decorated! The bed was comfortable, the shower had good water pressure and the area was safe. The apartment is in a fabulous location and my host went above and beyond with hospitality. He provided a map with a lot of sights, all of which are in walking distance. Within minutes, you can be in the city center full of major shops and restaurants (Funky's Pizza is open 24-7), in old Chania or walking on the beach! The Synka grocery store was a quick 15 minute walk and there was a 24 hour market a block away. It was perfect for picking up items such as fresh fruit, olive oil and butter. They perfectly complimented the recommended bakery right around the corner. It had fresh croissants or loaves of bread for one Euro! When I didn't feel like cooking, I could walk to Dino's for gyros and great service which was also recommended. When I had problems with my WiFi, the host brought over a WiFi extender. He also provided a really warm space heater and an excellent skillet, everything I needed to make my stay perfect.
In short, I would definitely recommend Alkis place and I look forward to returning!
