If you are coming to Crete and staying in or near Chania, you honestly need to check out this location. Out your front door and balcony is a beautiful view of Kalamaki beach. The location is close to some of the best beaches, as well as some of the most noteworthy restaurants.
As for Maria, you couldn't ask for a better host. She's quick to respond, really accommodated us and our baby, went above and beyond with an incredible welcome gift basket. We also were treated to two home cooked meals from her wonderful mom. This is what I think when I use an Airbnb. When we come back, this will be the only place we stay.
