Six people stayed here for 2 weeks between 29th July-12th August. Had an absolutely wonderful time. Check in was quick and efficient. We didnt get to the apartment until around 11pm and Ioanna's mother Elena let us in and gave us a quick tour. We were left with a few basic food items when we arrived and a bottle of the local spirit of raki (very strong!) Apartment is spotlessly clean, fantastic views of the sea from two balconies and a garden which also has the view. One of the bedrooms has a view of the road but this is not a problem. Just across the road is the hotel theo where you can use the pool. Very clean pool and always free sunbeds any time you arrive. Very close to all restaurants, all trip advisor top restaurants are within 20minute walk, some are as close as 5minute walk. Our favourites were Botonis (steak restaurant), lottos (pizza) and cafe paralia (fish platter and amazing views). There were also a huge number of bars along the way, everywhere open until late. The beautiful beach is less than a 10 minute walk away. There is a local small supermarket almost next door linked to the hotel theo and another one around 5 minute walk away. We had the best stay and couldn't have asked for more wonderful hosts. Whilst there were made a fish linguine which was so delicious and a sponge cake. Also lovely and a really nice touch. The hob broke whilst we were there and this was replaced the same day. Will just point out one or two things that could be improved - the downstairs bedroom has a fan rather than air con so that got very hot at times, Also the downstairs bathroom has a low resting shower head so this is better for baths or you will need to hold this above your head. The hotel is also up a very steep hill so just be mindful if you have mobility issues. Overall, I would definetely recommend staying at this apartment and would happily stay here I'm ever in chania again. Thank you so much.
