Marias place was perfect for a week away with my partner. It is located perfectly, just a 5 minute walk from the harbour (which is full of life); yet also very quiet and felt safe. We had never visited chania before but Maria informed us a lot about the area and it was easy to find our way around. The house is perfectly equipped for cooking small or bigger meals and the outdoor area is great for evening meals. Marias place is also just a 20 minute walk from a nice beach, and a 15 minute bus journey from the more private and ‘Crystal water’ beaches. My partner and i participated in various activities during our stay in crete (scuba/paddle boarding) and ‘Kriti hotel’ just a 2 minute walk away was a pick up point for these activities! Also good to note that we felt the house was actually more spacious than the pictures indicate, which of course is an extra bonus!
