I would definitely advice to stay in Manolis's place near Chania.
The flat is perfectly located, close to the town (15 min by car), but in a very relax and peaceful atmosphere. The flat was tidy and clean when we arrived.
The landscape is breathtaking : blue sky, gorgeous see and a pool.
Manolis gave us some advices and tips to go out at night (bars, clubs, restaurants), it was very helpful.

Many thanks
