Four of us stayed here for 6 nights at the end of May 2019. Nikos and his family were very welcoming, arranging a pick up from the airport directly to the house, and also leaving some delicious homemade Cretan cheese pies and traditional raki.
The outdoor area of the house is great for barbeques, and gets sun for almost all of the day. We cooked lunch and dinner a few times while staying in Hania and thought the space and cooking facilities were ideal for this purpose.
In terms of access to the rest of Hania, there is a lovely beach less than 10 minutes walk from the house, from there you can walk another 15 minutes along the coast to reach the famous historic harbour. The bus station and supermarket are also easy walking distance, and we often bought pastries from the bakery opposite the house.
Overall we had a wonderful stay, and thought Nikos and his family were perfect hosts. We definitely recommend this place for anyone staying in Hania.
