Had a fantastic stay at Manolis' place in Chania. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The place is nice and cool during the day and has a washing machine, toaster, coffee machine, blankets and plenty of towels as well as Netflix and YouTube on the TV!
In terms of location you will need a car or taxi to get to the town centre, for the first 4 nights of our stay we had to walk onto the highway and hail a cab because the cab numbers didn't work/ drivers didn't turn up for us, but we didn't mind walking and seeing the local area. The rest of the time we hired a car and was allowed to park in front of the property which was easier if you don't want to hitchhike for taxis haha! There is a corner shop and a lovely restaurant a couple of mins from the villa.
Manolis was a fab host tending to a range of our needs from ordering us a cab, questions about using the pizza oven and opening the hatch at the front of the property. He always responded quickly and was very welcoming. He even provided us some free food like wine, eggs, bread and fresh fruit. But most of all wanted to thank Manolis for going completely out of his way to return a lost bracelet to my friend who was already at the airport! He took time out of his day to find the jewellery and return it to her safely which was greatly appreciated and shows he is a wonderful host.
Only thing I'd say could make this villa even better is a carbon monoxide and smoke alarm. We brought our own for our stay but feel this would've made a great addition to the many amenities the property had to offer.
Will definitely stay again if I'm ever in Chania, thanks Manolis for being a great host!
