Nikiforos and Eirini were always reachable and available, no matter when we needed information. Superfast responses, very willing to accommodate our requests and questions. They also left some valuable tips of Chania in the flat, making it easy to find good places to eat and visit. The flat was also very clean, very organized and exactly as shown in the photos. The beach is about 10 minutes walking downhill. But we would recommend renting a car if you are staying in this area, since the sun in Chania can be very strong and the strolls become a bit exhausting when it's +30 °C. There are supermarkets nearby, and the kitchen is equipped enough that it's possible to cook well, if you want to. Taxi to and from the old town is €7, very easy to get. I highly recommend Nikiforos and Eirini as hosts, and definitely Crete in general. Don't miss a visit to Balos!
