Awesome location! Beautiful charming decor. The shared courtyard in front of the townhouse is a wonderful quiet oasis of calm and peace. Great views from the top floor deck. Thank goodness they have air conditioning in all rooms as even in early June, Crete can get very hot during the day and the upper deck is wonderful for early or late, but not mid-day.
Parking: this wasn’t an issue for us and we parked directly in front of the courtyard. Seemed that there are plenty of spaces to park during the middle of a weekday when people are at work, the evenings and weekends were more difficult. But really no issue and a car is super nice for visiting the beaches.
Vicky has a great taxi service that can shuttle you to and from the Samaria Gorge so you don’t need to sit on the bus (EUR 70 there, EUR 95 for the pick up from Sfatia(?) )
Only issue we had was frustratingly intermittent internet and WiFi. It comes and goes without warning. Also, note that there is a router in the kitchen with the same password as the units downstairs, but not labeled.
Chania is charming, if filled with a lot of tourists, as is any charming place! Get an early start and enjoy the island. Also, we enjoyed a really nice private cruise aboard a beautiful traditional Greek fishing boat - check out Manos Cruises - Ferryman boat
