My daughter and I spend 6 memorable days at Elina's apartment. She and her mother could not have been more welcoming! We were close to the beach and to the supermarket so we could cook for ourselves if we wanted. The accomodations are just as listed. Elina's mother lives in the building and was very helpful with everything we needed and even cooked us Cretian specialty, Boureki. The apartment is only 10 minutes by car from Chania and there is easy access to the National Road for traveling around the island. there is a lovely view of the mountains from the kitchen window and the back patio. We really didn't want to leave! If I lived in Europe I would definitely return.
