Irina’s listing was absolutely wonderful! It is located in the quieter section of Old Town where local Cretans still live so it felt authentic, yet only a short walk from the bustling touristy area. We loved being so close to all the activity yet able to easily escape for some rest & relaxation.
The space itself is very well planned out. It is a tall and narrow townhouse that has been totally modernized. It should be noted that this townhouse has three flights of steep stairs (for any individuals with mobility concerns). The bedroom is incredibly welcoming with natural light and a comfortable bed. The bathroom, while small by US standards, is not atypical for Europe and is well-equipped. There are three separate outdoor patios(!), including a roof deck with a view, so you have a plethora of choice for soaking up the sun and taking in the sights/sounds of Chania.
Irina was a wonderful host who gave us a ton of recommendations and even called to help us make a dinner reservation at a highly-sought after restaurant.
We could not have been happier with our stay at Irina’s home and absolutely will recommend it to others!!
