    Great holiday! A location with nothing comparable around! We had everything we wanted!

    All the time and everywhere there can be room for better. We got, however, what we expected: quiet, pleasant atmosphere, exceptional view, warmth of the hosts. What would be fantastic, is to get rid of the multitude of cables hanging in the air in front of the sea view (in general, moving all the infrastructure to the basement would be a great addition to the micro-area).

    Excellent location (with all the infrastructure nearby), with a gorgeous, perfectly maintained garden, an exceptional view from the terrace at sunrise, a few minutes to the beach and the rare hospitality of Nico and his mother. Thank you, dear hosts! We had a great time at your place!

    The host is a most dedicated nice man, who responds immediately and solve any issue or request efficiently. The apartment was meticulously cleaned, and the location is great if privacy is what important to you. Very close to the sea. Big fully furnished balcony facing the sea on the second floor. Parking. Next to the building is a beautiful garden of the owners residence.

    It is nothing fancy, but all you require is there + TV in the bedroom. 🙂

    Very close to all amenities:beach, shops, farmacy. Bus stop towords Chania just in front of the property with bus 21 and 15 going to Chania city - 20 min away(Trovit app will show you the bus time schadule throughout the day and the stops along the route). The appartment has an open kitchen with a sofa (and all you need for cooking that work very well) and a balcony plus the bedroom + second balcony. Overall a very good space for 2 pple. The owner Nicolai and his mum are very helpful, kind and always ready to go the extra mile for guests. I cannot thank enought for his kind approach as mum had some back pains and he brought an extra soft mattress.

    I overall liked the place, but one thing bothered us a few nights - the neighbors, they came home late and spoke loudly, that was heard like it is in our room and woke us up. The building is not soundproofed at all, so if you sleep light - take some earplugs just in case. Aaand, yes, be prepared for mosquitoes' attack when you park your car!

    Nikolas and his mother were very welcoming and answered all our questions prior and during our stay. The apartment is spacious and has everything you need for a longer stay, though you should not expect anything luxurious. Furniture and utensils are old but the place is kept clean. The best thing is that if you rent a car you can park it for free in the property parking lot. You can easily get to the Chania city center by public bus 21 as the bus stop is just in front of the property. If you prefer to skip driving, then go to the beach - it is really across the road. A few minutes walk you can find other beaches too.

    I was going to give this place a review score of 10 but instead I gave a generous 8, because on the day of checking out, we were woken at 09:30 hours by the owner knocking on the door to tell us that the check out time was 09:00 hours. My girlfriend was not at all happy. I showed the owner that check out time is stated between 09:00 - 12:00 hours on his booking.com profile. I have since written to booking.com to ask that they speak to him about this and change the check out time if necessary.

    Very clean, in a quiet location close to the beach and the bus stop for buses to Chania. Large apartment with two terraces, a cooker and fridge, lots of hot water. Great price. Nice friendly owner

    It’s a simple accommodation, some renovation could help, but overall good value for money.

    The apartment is very close to a bus stop, so travelling from/to Chania is very easy. Also very close to the beach, food options and shops. Very kind and helpful owners.

    The studio was quite old and some of the things in need of renovation. In example after showering water stayed on the floor.

    I think it should always be a place where good sleep is guaranteed. And it was: the bed was comfy, air conditioner worked well, it was quiet and possible to make room dark for sleeping. The location is great when thinking about getting around. Bus stop is very near and you can get into nice beach by walking 5 minutes. Back yard garden was a beautiful extra. Hosts were very accommodating and helping.

    The bath room and the shower cabin could be larger. There was an electric cooker (it worked as it supposed to work), but a microwave oven could be a nice addition.

    This is a basic apartment, nothing was fancy, but everything was OK. The host was friendly and helpful. The location is perfect: a good beach is in 3-minute walk, shops and restaurants are in 10-minute walk, bus stop is in 1-minute walk. The apartment was large enough and it was not noisy. The cleanliness was also OK. We had a balcony with sea view. I do not think that anyone can expect more at this price level.

    The apartment hadn't been cleaned thoroughly. I needed to sweep and wash floors on arrival. The shower and toilet area was v tired and needed updating. The toilet seat didn't fit the toilet and the shower / floor needed a clean before use. The kitchen area is large and adequate, but again, v tired, and it had not been cleaned adequately. We didn't feel the description accurately reflected the property. We booked 3 nights and left after 1 night.

    These are budget apartments, so expect basic, simple accommodation. Clean sheets and towels provided. Bedroom adequately furnished. Access to Chania is v good, using public transport and Nikolas is v helpful with information about the area - supermarkets, restaurants etc.

    Facilities not maintained well. Moldy shower curtain bottom. Water from shower runs into bath floor. Marginal cleaning at best. Sheets and towels were clean though. Rudimentary maintenance of room.

    Location was very good. Ocean view. Great breeze blowing through apartment most days. Clothes line on back balcony. Just make sure to secure with the pins or items will blow away.... Nearby market for needed items. Many restaurants close by. Pita Grill was very good and just down from market.

    Beware front doors! Newer forget key inside! All the other - its nothing to complain

    A really good location - BlueFlag class beach is 100 meters away, where some expensive hotels located (and care about it), so you have access to some unfrastructure for free. LIDL is in 20 minutes walk, Pitagrill or Kakamaki restaurants- 5 minutes, busses to a city runs every 15 minutes(20 minutes ride) , and bus stop is in the front of property. Nikolas is extremely friendly owner he does everything for a pleasant stay. Real value for singles/couples/family

    Host asks for data like your full address and job title stating that this info is needed from this year and will be written on the receipt. I haven’t got any receipt and this isn’t my first time in Greece this year so this isn’t true. Room is clean and cleaned every 3 days however the trash bin in the bathroom will be emptied only every 3 days. As you cannot throw toilet paper in the toilet it is normally emptied everyday. I haven’t been to a place before where it’s not emptied everyday.

    location, comfortable bedding
