We found the apartment perfect - everything was there, and even more. The apartment is very clean and fresh, it is also tastefully decorated. Kitchen and bathroom fully equipped, air condition in every room, nice balcony. We traveled with two kids and they were both happy. The youngest of only 7 months got a nice place to sleep, and both of the kids had toys to play with. There was also a baby chair even though we did not need it. The host, Nectaria, was very welcoming and helpful, cooked a lot of Cretan things for us to taste and they were all delicious. Stalos is a calm place, the beach is just 100 meters from the apartment. The beach is very nice, sandy, not overcrowded, though wavy for those who are concerned with this issue. We found it even more exciting with the waves. Otherwise Stalos is not so much a place to be on its own but rather a good location to explore the area from. We went to the city of Chania (by bus), to the neighbouring Agia Marina, took a drive to the Akrotiri peninsula, to Paleochora in the south, and visited Aptera. Surely you could do even more, but we decided to move westwards and continue from there. All in all, very warmly recommended.
