We spent five nights here. Katerina was a wonderful host, always available, always asking whether everything was ok and always ready to help. On the first day she helped us with the luggage, welcomed us with fresh fruit and water and gave us all the necessary information about things to visit in Chania and around. She made excellent recommendations about restaurants, helped us book an organized trip and rent a car, and on the last day she kept our luggage for a few hours beyond check-out and called a taxi for us. She runs a small shop in the same building, so she is there all the time during the day, which is really convenient. We are very grateful for her hospitality.

The location is fantastic. Aggelou is a small, very picturesque street. A few meters down the street is the old Venetian harbor. The old town is closed to the traffic but from the apartment it takes less than a minute walk to get to a square that is open to the traffic (Talos), which is very convenient if you are renting a car or taking a taxi or going on an organized trip. The apartment is also a short walk (10 minutes) away from Nea Chora beach, which has a less touristic flavor than the old harbor and great, affordable restaurants. From the bus station to the apartment there is a 15-minute walk, by taxi it takes 5 minutes and it costs around 6 euros. When we arrived we walked and the last day we took a taxi to the station. If you walk, it is better to go through the harbor because it is flatter.

The apartment is on the second floor of a small historical building. There is obviously no elevator but this was not a problem since we only had to take our luggage up on the first day and down on the last day. The apartment has good air conditioning and is very clean. It is spacious, has a lot of storage space, and a very pleasing atmosphere, with a simple and nice decoration and a lot of light. The street is quiet during the day and busy at night. However, the bedroom does not overlook the street but a back patio, and therefore it is quiet also at night. The living room and the kitchen overlook the street and they can be a bit noisy during the night. The kitchen has a large fridge, kettle, Italian coffee maker, and a small electrical stove and oven. The bedroom has a small bathroom. All the apartment is fully refurbished but shower pressure is rather low and the shower head attachment was broken. The shower curtain could also be uncomfortable at times, but none of this was a big problem. When you rent the apartment you also get access to the roof top which is nice.

Overall, it was a very positive experience and we highly recommend this place.
