What a great place! It is a short walk to an excellent beach for kids, as well as many kid-friendly restaurants and two supermarkets. The apartment is clean and spacious with a very nice kitchen. Out of the 10 European vacation rentals we’ve stayed in over the last 6 months, it was the best equipped kitchen we experienced. There were also plenty of towels and inflatables for the beach. Our host left us raki and wine and brought us a huge box of ice cream treats towards the end of our stay. He also sent a long list of recommendations of where to eat and what to see, as well as handy tips, like where to park in Chania. There is off-street parking for two cars (one spot is shaded the whole day; the other is shaded for about half the day). The air conditioning works like a dream which is imperative in the heat of summer.
