This is truly a gem and Maria is the definition of “Superhost”. The location is amazing, just a couple of blocks up from the old harbor and within the old town area. For us it was a five minute walk from where the taxi could drop us off. There are no cars allowed around Maria’s. Maria met us at the drop off point and walked us to her place.
The apartment has its own entrance to the street (street? alley? It’s busy but in four days I saw only one motorcycle and a couple of bicycles. Otherwise it’s a walking way.) The front door is up a few stairs so not suitable for wheelchairs but otherwise totally accessible. Once inside, everything is on one level. Inside is wonderfully decorated. Maria has an eye for style. To me this is a place for one couple (two people). There is one queen size bed, a small kitchen and a sitting area. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom has a good shower (no tub). The kitchen is well equipped, but who needs it; there are restaurants everywhere. You can’t walk two minutes anywhere in the old town area without seeing a restaurant. (Get recommendations from Maria. She knows.)
Maria is super accessible and seems to love interacting with her guests. My only regret is that we could only stay three nights. Chania is definitely worth a longer stay. We hope to be back and will book Maria’s again for more than three nights.
