We were lucky to stay in this lovely apartment for 4 weeks from mid-Sep-Oct 2022. we had an amazing time.
Location: in an unbeatable location, only literary 2 min from the Chania bus station, very close to square 1833 square and the old town. We explored the old town and went as far as Tampakariá walking. If you want to go to the nearby beach you can take the city bus from 1833 square to Golden Beach (our favourite) or Agii Apostoli beach both have very reasonable sun lounge chairs/umbrella sets (6-8 euros). If you want to visit other cities in Crete like Falarsana (an amazing must-visit beach if you come in the Summer season) or Rethimnos the bus terminal is one block away. In the neighbourhood, there are many supermarkets and speciality stores for cheese and dairy, special coffee, various butchers, vegetable/fruit shops and fish shops. "Bakery shop" by the square has delicious spanakopita and cheese pastries typical of Chania.
The apartment itself: The apartment has a good layout and it may look small in the picture but it feels spacious. Both my husband and I work remote and we spend long hours in the house and don't feel cramped. The kitchen is very functional and it has a great oven and two cooktops. There is also an expresso machine that makes great coffee. There is a balcony to hang your cloth outside to dry. The house is very brings during the day but doesn't receive direct sunlight which is nice. The bed is very comfortable. The bathroom and shower are both large and have good water pressure. There is even a vacuum cleaner in the laundry closet which I really appreciated. Between the AC and the fan, you will be very comfortable even if the outside is 34 degrees!
Host: Our host Charalabos is 5*, from the very beginning he answer all my questions kindly and promptly, I told him our special situation where my husband works on the computer and has an injured back, so I asked if we could have a desk chair instead of the folding chair so it could be more comfortable. He brought a brand new ergonomic chair worth a few hundred euros for us and put it in the house. We were able to get into Chania on an earlier flight and he offered to meet us at the airport and on the way to the city, stopped at the Venizelos Graves and showed us the view. He also explained and taught us a lot about Greek/Cretan history and culture. To be honest we couldn't have had a better introductory experience in Chania. I feel he really went above and beyond the call of duty as a host.
The bottom line is if you are thinking about renting this place, just do it. Whether you are just staying a few days or a month like us or more, I'm sure you will love it as much as we did.
