“A delightful way to spend February.”
We (2 of us) spent the whole of February in this apartment and our stay was delightful. A 5 storey hotel is just being finished which now partially obscures the view of the sea on the left of the photograph. The owners are waiting for it to be finished before changing it. The view is still to the sea however. The apartment was impeccably clean and perfectly decorated. Light and airy. It is as described. The sea front as a whole in this part of Chania is being developed and in a few months this will be completed. It will improve an already pleasant area. The apartment is 5/10 minutes away from a good local supermarket, the Thursday vegetable market (wonderful), the shopping centre and the Venetian harbour (glorious) and the beach. Literally everything is close at hand whilst not being slap in the middle of tourist central. Perfect for us.

Location, size, cleanliness and modern decor. Balconies with outdoor table and chairs a real bonus. Personal welcome by Yiannis was much appreciated and informative. Absolutely loved our stay here.

“It exceeded every expectation and was an extremely confortable, light and airy place.”
Everything! The spaciousness of the apartment with all the balconies, it was completedly equipped and extremely confortable. This large and airy apartment had a great location, a block from the sea and beaches, a 5 minute walk from the center (yet it was quiet). I highly recommend it! We'll definetly book it again, on our next trip to Chania.

“Large apartment, well-located, with great hosts!”
Very large apartment, felt like someone's home, walking distance to Chania waterfront/old town, view of the sea from kitchen and living room, close to large supermarket, and with a large clothes washer in the unit. Hosts Efi and Yiannis were awesome, they always responded quickly to our messages, had great dining recommendations, and helped us to rent a car for one-day drive to Knossos. Don't miss the restaurant Fourogatos, a short walk away, great Cretan food and super-friendly staff.

“Amazing spacious apartment very close to the beach and Old town”
The apartment was amazing. Very spacious, well equipped, beautiful views from a huge balcony and the air conditioning was an added bonus. Our host, Yiannis, met us at the apartment when we arrived and gave excellent recommendations on good restaurants and bars close by and things to do. We have stayed at many apartments booked through Booking.com over many years and this is one of the best. We will definitely return very soon.

“Great location overlooking the sea”
The views are great, proximity to shopping, supermarket, old town, waterfront, venetian port and beach made this a prime location. The place is huge and has 1 full bathroom and a powder room. Our host gave us suggestions for restaurants and answered questions we had about some tourist attractions. We even had some homemade raki (alcohol) waiting for us.
