If you are planning a trip to crete and want to live close by a bigger city to have access to super markets and restaurants, you have chosen a good location. The tropical garden house actually looks like on the pictures (with slightly less saturated colours ;) ) and has a well maintained garden. The house itself is located 40 min away from the city ( on foot) and ~10 min by car in a silent residential area. If you are planning to visit different beaches, cities, and so on, I recommend a rental car (parking is no problem at the house, even for 2 cars) since you will be very fast on the highway which is close by. The air conditioning is very powerful and should be able to cool down the house in the summer.
Michalis is a very nice host who responds super fast to question. To our comfort, he provided us with a lot of fresh oranges as a welcome gift. Also, information/ads/guides were available at the house.
If we would visit chania again, we certainly would consider to book this place again.
