Maria is a great host and was very responsive to questions we had about places to visit and getting around Crete. My wife and I had a wonderful stay. The place is a good size and the kitchen is pretty big and well equip; it was easy to cook all our meals there. The outside patio is amazing; the view from the balcony is stunning and was one of our highlights in Chania. But if you don't have a car, this view comes at a bit of a cost as the walk up the hill to the place is pretty intense. The bus station and nearest bus stops are still pretty far (between 10 and 30 min walks). The local grocery stores aren't too far, but they are down the hill by at least a 5 min walk. So if you don't like to do a lot of walking, you will want to rent a car if you are staying here.
