I loved staying at Filip's place! I was there for two months and has a small dog with me. Filip was great to communicate with. Stelios was so kind and nice. He often shared food with me and checked to see how I was doing. The location is great, within walking distance to the beach and during the summer season to restaurants and shops. If you want to get into Chania you can take a bus (more regular during summer season) or drive. I did find it very helpful to have a car, but I was also there when a lot of shops were closed! I highly recommend staying here, it is a beautiful area and a great place!
