Maria’s place is exactly as described, a warm peaceful nest. I wish I had time to get into details, but the place is filled with love (the furniture and fixtures even attest to it)! We slept so well, enjoyed uninterrupted, super fast WiFi, and the friendly offerings of our great hostess (avocados and mandarins from her orchard). As far as local information you will need, Maria’s Chania network is vast; I found a quick text to her was more useful than a Google search! Thanks Maria!
