First a short summary: Everything was more than perfect! Thanks a lot, Effie and Stelios, you are both very sweet 😊

My boyfriend and I stayed in the apartment for 8 nights, the communication with Effie after booking was always quick and very friendly. When we arrived at the apartment Effie greeted us warmly and showed us everything. It felt like we were the first ones who stayed there because everything looked brand new and was spotlessly clean. I liked the furniture a lot, they are very modern, and the apartment is beautifully decorated. The huge sofa and the bed are very comfy. The kitchen is well equipped. We did not cook, but there is everything that one would need: pots, pans, kettle, stove etc.. I would swap the apartment for my own, because it’s just perfect and really big 😊
Effie also provided linens, towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel (everything from a very nice brand) etc. and during our stay she asked us multiple times if there is anything we need (but we didn’t, since everything was already perfect). She was always available when we had questions. Towels and linens were even changed during our stay. There is a washer/dryer that can be used, which is also very convenient.
The location of the apartment was great for us: very close to the airport (10 minutes by car, but you don’t hear the planes) and very close to the city center and beaches (also 10 minutes). We liked that it was not in the city center, because it was more peaceful. In the same building there is a bakery that has very tasty things and is open until 11 in the evening and there are two small shops (one is open 24 hours) directly downstairs. Two big supermarkets with good prices are just a 3-minute drive away.
Parking is easy, because there is plenty of space directly in front of the house. If you want to go to Chania city center by car: My travel guide book said it’s almost impossible to find parking, but this is not true. Try Talos Square Public Parking (free of cost and many parking spots, but often full), or go a little to the west (if you check google maps it says “free parking” at Akti Kanari). This is a huge place which always had many free spots (at least in early October) and is also free of cost.
We arrived one day late because Ryanair was on a strike, and Effie offered us to stay one day longer free of cost, which was very nice. Unfortunately, the flight back home was fix.
I can highly recommend this apartment and the wonderful hosts and would like to come back one day.
