Katerina's studios are beautiful: clean, simple (but with everything you need), comfortable, and in a prime location! Even more, Katerina is a wonderful hostess and very accommodating. She met me at the bus station to lead me to the studio, offered suggestions for things to do and places to eat, left a map, and even kept me company (since I was traveling alone) for lunch! Staying at her studio really gave me a true experience of life in Crete. Just opening the balcony doors I could here fresh juice being made across the street in the morning and live Greek music in the evening. I was worried at first that the noise would be bothersome, but it honestly allowed me to have a better experience and forced me to go out and do things in the evenings. If you are looking for a very quiet zen place to stay, this may not be the right place for you. But if you want to truly experience Chania (and be able to close the windows and turn on the a/c when you are ready to go to bed) this is the place for you!
