Great apartment!!! You will love it!
The apartment itself is very spacious, clean, comfortable, with ALL of the necessary commodities. There is an air conditioning unit in the living room and one in each bedroom, which was a major plus for us (since we were here in July). The view from the living room is spectacular. It was nice to wake up to the ocean every morning. The decor is very nice and it should also be noted that there is an elevator and stairs in the building. The apartment itself is on the 5th floor.
The area is very safe, in a residential area. A couple of doors down there is a hotel and we would purchase our water and soft drinks from there at a very inexpensive price. There is a restaurant a couple of minutes away where we would enjoy a complete English breakfast for about $10. It is less than a 10 minute walk to the Venetian Harbor where it is extremely lively every day and night. There are tons of souvenirs shops, restaurants, live music, and boat rides.
Our flight arrived late at night and Manolis called us before we left the airport to make sure we had arrived safely. He explained that his assistant would be waiting for us. His assistant was very nice and even helped us order a late night pizza since we couldn’t speak the language. He mentioned that he was ordering from the best pizza place there in Chania. We sure loved it. The place is called La Prima for anyone interested.
Manolis later checked on us to make sure everything was to our liking and it most certainly was.
When we checked out, Manolis left work to come and see us off. It was a true honor to meet him. He was very nice and respectful to my family and I. It is of no wonder why he has such positive reviews.
Do not hesitate to book this apartment. It is definitely a great place, all around!
P.S. The beach is only a 12 minute walk from the apartment and there is a nice place to dance salsa on Thursday nights called Aria del mare (on the beach).
