We were absolutely delighted with our stay at Esther's villa. We had the upstairs apartment. There was a full family downstairs and we never heard any noise from them through the floor. It was very peaceful. Esther is incredibly helpful as you arrive, and the apartment is kitted out with various helpful items of food, drink, and toiletries (gratis) to get you on your way. Every room is spotless, and in the kitchen is a fresh water dispenser for constant drinkable water - this is a fantastic feature as it means no trips down to the shops and a walk back with 50kg of water. Amazing. The villa is a great location, and a short walk to the main buses, great little tavernas, and a long beach. Chania town is a €8 taxi away, or a €1.70 bus ride. In the kitchen, the washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and oven are all spotless and work perfectly.
We were incredibly happy and comfortable at Esther's villa, and would thoroughly recommend it. Chania is a very buzzing town at the weekends so you have the pick of whatever you want from this area of Crete.
