Christina's place is not just a house, it's a home. We stayed for a month and felt like home from the very first day! The photos and the description don't do it justice. Christina is way too modest -- she managed to create an incredibly cozy and adorable space! We're already making plans to go back there as soon as possible and as often as possible!
The house is built in the 1700s but has all the modern amenities you need without sacrificing its original charm. So you get to stay in a historical place but enjoy modern life. How cool is that?
You'll also be super close to Chania city center (20-25 minutes walking at a normal pace). Next to the house, you have everything you need: small local shop, 2 supermarkets (Lidl and Sklavenitis), a bakery, a butcher, a restaurant, and a bar -- all within walking distance.
While the house, the small yard, and the resident cat (Hera) are all perfect, the best thing about our stay was our relationship with the host. Christina is extremely knowledgeable in all things Chania, Crete, and Greece in general. She is always happy to answer questions (and we had A LOT of them!) and offer tips to help you find gems that only locals know about. We even went to secluded beaches together and threw a couple of parties, all of which I will always remember fondly! Also, Christina is always eager to help you with whatever you need in the house or fix stuff as soon as they break. You could not ask for a more reliable and friendly host!
(We're always happy to make friends with awesome people like Christina. But if you prefer to have your privacy, you can have that, too! This was entirely our choice, so feel free to book this lovely home whatever your preferences in terms of socializing are.)
I'm super proud to say I have a new amazing friend. ευχαριστώ πολύ, Christina for your patience with my sloppy Greek, for always correcting and teaching me, and for making our stay so much pleasurable than we could have ever expected!
