Although we never actually met Alkis, he was with us electronically every step of the way. The apartment was perfect and his mother even left us fruit and coffee in the refrigerator! This is a perfect location if you don't want to be around the hustle and bustle of Chania center. It is only a 10-15 minute walk to the center and a 1 minute walk down to the beach. We had a great stay and I highly recommend this space to other travelers.
