Perfect in every way!

The property was perfectly located near the old harbour. It was spotlessly clean and felt like a home from home. Our host, Lia, had thought of everything and was friendly and helpful, keen to ensure we enjoyed our stay in Chania. We would love to stay in the property again.

Relaxing stay in Chania

An excellent comfortable house to stay in, at the quieter end of the Old Town. Our host, Dimos, was charming and very helpful, with our late arrival, parking and recommendations for good places to eat. The house is on 4 floors. The terrace at the top was a great place place to relax.

A Great House and Location

This house is has everything you could want for a wonderful holiday in a beautiful area. The house is comfortable, spacious and has all the amenities you could need, and is within very close walking distance of the old city. The owners could not have been more helpful: arrival and check in was quick and simple, and we were left to enjoy the holiday, knowing that they were always available should the need arise. I could not recommend Grandma's Chic Home, the owners, the location and the town of Chania highly enough. Thank you for a great stay.

Fantastic oasis of calm in the heart of the old town

We had a lovely few days in this apartment. It is located in a very quiet alley in old town but within a few minutes walk of the bustling streets around the harbour. Nicole was excellent in communications online, giving us all the information we needed and Manoussos was a fantastic host on site. His relaxed, friendly manor and expert local knowledge really added to our trip. He couldn't have been more helpful, pointing us towards lots of things around the town that we wouldn't have noticed otherwise and helping us get the most out of our trip. The apartment has everything you need and expect with a lovely relaxed style. The table outside the door is a nice little bonus on a warm evening. There is a fantastic restaurant "The Well of the Turk" only 30 seconds walk away. We had a great meal there after arriving tired and hungry on our first night. The aparatment and hosts get five stars all round from us, we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

The MOST perfect place to be in Chania!

Stella is a host beyond compare and this apartment is perfect. We were right in the middle of New Hora Beach to the left and the Venetian Harbor to the right. Everything is in walking distance and, as two older ladies, we felt very safe no matter when we were out. Local restaurants serve phenomenal food and have good, fun staff. The apartment is all brand new appliances, nice furniture, and two great balconies. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen equipped for all cooking. Stella gave a great map and showed us how to get around Chania. We spent 5 days in Chania, 5 days in Santorini, and 3 days in Athens. We regret not spending more days on Crete and only maybe 3 days in Santorini, and no days in Athens. Our suitcases were lost and Stella did battle with the airlines for two days to get our suitcases delivered. She became a friend who was always there on the phone. Truly Stella and this apartment were some of the best things about Greece!
