Manos has a beautiful apartment that is very close walking distance to all of the best of downtown Chania, however is just up the hill and removed enough so you don't get all of the noise and traffic! We did not get to meet him, however his mother and sister were staying upstairs and were incredibly kind and accommodating - even when we locked ourselves out of the room! Everything was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Even though Manos was not there, he was very communicative and available by text/email. I would certainly stay there again for my next trip in Chania. Beautiful views, authentic neighborhood, and close (but not too close!) to everything the Old Port area can offer.
