The pictures are perfectly describing the stylish quarters. But let me back up and discuss the superior communication and instructions. First. Booking was a cinch, and we were very lucky to get this room. We were choosing between a stylish place in Chaniá and here, and we believe we made the better decision not only from the standpoint of hospitality but also from the standpoint of parking which is virtually non-existent in Chaniá. Once booked, all questions were answered promptly, and with kindness.
Finding the place was a bit of a challenge as my Apple Maps and Google Maps didn’t find it from the link out of AirBnB, but when I was texting Nina, she kindly assisted us promptly and we glided our small car just out front.
Meeting Nina and her mother was just like we were coming home after being gone for so long. The afternoon sun kissing the Sea of Crete, welcome tips, and enveloped in kindness, our beginning here was as if climbing into a warm bath, drying off with a sun warmed towel, and dried by gentle breezes, just feeling cared for.
Every tip was perfection. The recommendation of the taverna on the way back from Elafonisi, switching out Balos beach for Seitan Limania close by, and the restaurant in Chaniá all just superior.
The sheets’ thread count was luxurious, the Cretan sun warmed hot water steamy, the breezes freshening through the sliding glass door that opened nearly all the way to our own little private part of paradise, and we had both inclusion and privacy all at once to and from the bustling Main Street of Agia Marina.
The area was unpretentious. The restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and stores all very reasonable and the people overwhelmingly friendly.
If you do an AirBnB to immerse yourself into a culture or place, to feel you have a home, then this will be the perfect place for you. We know it was for us
