We chose Alexis' apartment to start our holiday as we wanted somewhere close to the beach and near the airport. Unfortunately when we arrived we discovered an active building site next door. Alexis was quick to move us to another apartment on the other side of the building, but the following day the builders were pumping concrete from a chain of lorries all day. Obviously Alexis couldn't stop the building work but it was an unpleasant surprise for us and meant we couldn't really relax around the property during the day.
It's actually a good location with plenty of things to do nearby. We enjoyed visiting several beaches along the coast, exploring Chania, and walked down the Samaria gorge. There's a good bus service into Chania from nearby the apartment.
