Lovely old house in the heart of Chania Old Town

Everything ran smoothly from our very first communications with Katerina, with swift responses and clear instructions and Constantina met us at the house as arranged, on our arrival from the airport. There was a welcome basket of fresh fruit, salad ingredients for a Greek salad and a really good array of store cupboard ingredients. The house is situated in a traditional narrow street and oozes character but has been refurbished to a high modern standard whilst still retaining immense charm. The décor is a clever mix of antique and modern style with some really interesting art work Breakfast and lunch on the roof terrace was one of our most abiding memories of a lovely holiday. The roof terrace is accessed via a loft style ladder so may not be suitable for very young children or anybody with mobility problems. The house is very well equipped and real attention to detail-full range of toiletries left in both bathrooms, plenty of washing powder etc. There a couple of lovely family run tavernas a few doors down from the house, which we can thoroughly recommend-good locally sourced food, beautifully cooked and a hospitable Cretan welcome. The beautiful harbour is a short level walk away but you feel that you can step back from the hustle and bustle in this property giving you the best of both worlds. We particularly enjoyed exploring the surrounding old town with its eclectic mix of tavernas and shops-there always seemed to be something new to see. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and can't recommend the house and the service we received highly enough.

Fabulous!!! Lovely and full of character. Great location and very well equipped.

We have spent a week in this lovely apartment. We loved its character and its comfort. Our daughter really loved the mezzanine bed in the second floor as a secret den. A great location to be in Chania, near all the amenities in the old harbour and an easy 15 mins walk to the beach. Katerina gave us a warm welcome and plenty of advice on places to go and eat when we arrived. All fantastic. I would certainly recommend a stay in this house. Thank you Katerina!!!

Great mix of urban and old world

Beautiful renovated home, with an eclectic decor. Aikaterini had thought of every detail down to shampoos in every bathroom, detergent, hair dryers.., all the touches and the home is immaculate and fully functional. We were welcomed with fruit, wine and a treat upon arrival. We felt as if we were staying in a friend's home. The location is amazing, in the heart of the old town close to everything and we truly lived like locals, even having dinner right next door at Mikio where Georgia took extra special care of us as Aikterini's guests and greeted us every day as we went about our adventures. The rooftop patio was a great place to unwind at the end of the day before heading out for dinner. Aikaterini was available by text or phone and any questions were promptly addressed. This home is perfect for 1 or 2 couples or a family with teenagers as there are lots of beautiful furnishings and steps which could pose problems for younger families. Anyone with mobility problems should also avoid as there are 4 floors and quite a few steps to handle. Overall a great way to experience Chania and would highly recommend.

Great location, terrific host, cool rooftop veranda

We were made to feel welcome from the first moment, with provisions in the fridge and cabinets, a list of recommended restaurants, and a tour of the place. The location is ideal - in the heart of Old Town Chania on a street that was fairly quiet. Beds were comfortable and we had plenty of good towels, including beach towels on request. The host was responsive and incredibly helpful. My only caveat: Given the steep steps between floors and the doorless sleeping areas, I would not recommend this for those with small children or mobility issues. Otherwise, a perfectly delightful accommodation I would go back to in a heartbeat.

Great location with excellent host!

The apartment is beautifully decorated and perfectly situated-- we loved being in the old harbor, and within minutes walking distance to the main town, groceries, shopping, restaurants, and the beach. The host is also very responsive, flexible and good natured. She bent over backwards to help us anytime we had a question or need-- just wonderful all around!
