Eirini went above and beyond to make our trip to Crete amazing. She is certainly the most caring Airbnb host I have ever had. She met us at check-in with several helpful maps outlining personal recommendations for activities, beaches, markets, and food/drink. These maps guided our stay and made us feel like locals. She had the space cleaned like new when we had left for a few nights to santorini/mykonos. She also provided us with complimentary local olive oil and honey. She genuinely cared about how we were enjoying our stay and was easy to reach. She lives next door with her family but we still felt we had enough privacy.
The space itself has everything you need. The only item lacking was ample kitchen towels but surely she would have provided more had we asked. We didn’t cook at home, so can’t speak to how stocked the kitchen was otherwise but I believe the essentials were there. A lovely shower and lots of storage for luggage.
The location is amazing. I felt like a local in Chalepa as there were few tourists. Only a 30 minute walk to the Old Town Harbour. Excellent parking outside the Airbnb. Right beside the parking lot is a beautiful view of the ocean and sunset with a great place to swim if you walk down the steps. We are so grateful we stayed in Chania for best access to the most beautiful beaches.
