My partner and I stayed at Nikos place in June. Our flight was delayed by three hours so the host stayed up till 3:30am to ensure we got our keys, so we didn't have to pay for a hotel that night. We were so pleased and grateful for this. The apartment itself is perfect for a couple wanting to stay walking distance to central Chania, being 10 minutes away from the centre means its much quieter at night.
The apartment when we arrived was very clean, and the sheets were washed with lovely smelling fabric cleaner. We really enjoyed our first couple nights. However we were disappointed to realise that the oven did not work, we did call the host and they offered to get someone out to fix it and offered for us to cook it next door but by that point we had to leave the apartment. I would've liked to have been made aware that the oven didn't work. I'd imagine they would fix it now though.
There is also a few shops that sell drinks and snacks just a stones throw away from the apartment which are very handy, and theres loads of parking around the flat. Parking outside the apartment was tricky sometimes due to a very high slanted curb, but this won't be a problem for most people. Theres loads of parking options around the apartment.
The biggest worry for my partner and I was a few days in we realised that the back window (which is a large sliding window) doesn't actually lock what so ever. The window did back onto a private little courtyard shared with the flat next door, but someone could fit through the window without touching the sides. This made my partner and I feel a little unsafe at night due to it being a ground floor apartment, luckily there was a safe we could put all of our valuables in.
Despite this, the host and the apartment really are fabulous and I would still recommend them. I chose to stay here over hundreds of apartments and I am really glad I did. The hosts do really go above and beyond for their guests, I just believe these to be little fixable bumps in the road.
If you want to stay in a nice, clean cosy apartment with an easy walk into Chania then I really would recommend.
