Pros...Chania is amazing. The apartment is great. The balcony is heaven drizzled with local thyme honey. The location is super convenient.
Cons...host was not local and handed check-in off to her cleaner/caretaker who struggled to communicate - calling me in spite of me expressing a preference for texting (international phone charge$$) but her English was broken and difficult to handle issues.
...check in was a nightmare. Listing on airbnb took me to the wrong location, when I reached out for help Wasan sent me another map link which I walked to (with all my luggage in the HEAT of the day) but then sent me ANOTHER map link to a different location where I had just been. An hour into trying to check in, the cleaner/caretakers daughter picked me up to transport me and my luggage to apartment. Whew
...check-in nightmare continues when i pop out for to buy water and try to re-enter the building only to discover that the key won't work. Thank goodness for a kind neighbor who let me back into the building.
...Wasan continued to be non-responsive to my follow up messages
Great stay in a new-ish listing but the host has some bugs to figure out.
