We loved staying in this apartment. The location is perfect if you want to feel like a local in Old Town. No need to rent a car to explore Chania but easy to walk to town to rent a car for the day. Something new to explore at every turn. The hosts are so sweet and helpful with airport transfers and area recommendations.

Manousos was a lovely friendly host. He gave us lots of really useful advice about things to do and see and places to eat. His English was fantastic. The property was in the heart of the old town. Everything we needed was walking distance. There were lovely shops, bars and restaurants nearby and the harbour was also very close. The property was clean and had a quirky charm. The undersheet on the bed didn’t quite fit and getting down two short flights of stone stairs during the night for the loo was a bit anxiety making, mainly because I’m not as steady on my feet these days. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. Overall we loved it and really would recommend it.

Great place to stay in a great location. Host and her partner were very friendly and made sure we had a great stay. They also gave us a lot of helpful information on what to do & where to eat as well as some history of the place. We highly recommend!!

Paradise in Old Town

This VRBO really is the best space, in the best location, with the best hosts. Manousos is the sweetest man with excellent restaurant suggestions. The charm of this wonderful studio is olf increased by being on a quiet little alleyway. We loved everything about this booking.

Amazing

This little apartment is absolutely a gem. We enjoyed every moment of our stay here so much so that we even extended by an extra day. The hosts were lovely and easy to communicate with, the property was clean and located in the middle of the walking district and a ten minute walk from a lovely beach.

Perfect location

The property looked just like the photos. We were thrilled to be staying at a place full of history. Nicole was a great resource for our questions about Chania and was always quick to reply. The location is close to transportation but still on a quaint pedestrian only street. Was quiet in the evening but a short walk to the action. If we ever return to Chania, this will be where we stay.

This property is right inside the old town and is on a charming neighborhood court. Minutes of walk to the harbor. This property has fully functional kitchen that we used a couple of times during our stay. The owner is very responsive in communication and helpful in providing information and sightseeing tips. Strongly recommend it.

History and Charm & History and Culture

I cannot express enough how perfect this listing ended up being! The aesthetic beauty, the artsy decor, the location to EVERYTHING....!! But, most of all Nicole and her partner Manousos made my 3 week stay forever special. The assistance and guidance was so valuable. My trip was enriched by their interaction with me during the stay. I will return!

Beautiful apartment

This property was beautiful, beautifully decorated and so much character. It was also in such a great location! Right in the middle of old Town Chania. The cobble stone streets and old Greek buildings were so fun to walk through. The best aspect of this apartment was Nicole, her English was perfect which made communication so easy. When we arrived she was there to greet us, she gave us a run down of the apartment and the area, and was available for any questions we had along with suggestions of what to see and do. Our experience was wonderful.

Perfect

This was a most amazing experience - with the space and my time in Chania. Nichole made everything easy to schedule and then my host, Manousos, was so thoughtful and helpful, and kind. I adored my experience. The space itself was just perfect for my needs. I am most grateful for the entire experience. I didn't just feel at home, I was at home in this space. My time in Crete was to honor my father (who was from Crete and passed away in 2018) and to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday. I am completely overjoyed with the entire experience of my time in Greece from visiting our Greek family in Athens and then on Crete in Kounavi, to hiking the Imbros gorge, to touring Knossos, to our time in Stalos. Then, Chania, well, my heart is full.

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.

Magnifique séjour à Chania … Très belle ville animée et charmante

Manoussos a été un hôte exceptionnel… autant discret que disponible! Il nous a fait découvrir cette petite ville portuaire, ses ruelles et son histoire 😊 L’endroit où nous logions était typique, propre et bien situé. Nous le recommandons fortement (seul inconvénient: pas facile à trouver dans les ruelles de Chania)

Couldn’t have found a better match!

If I could rate my experience and the property 10 stars I would! The location was incredible, with the best little restaurant right around the corner called Ginger Concept (highly recommend for a lovely date night out) and it’s close walking distance to anywhere in old town/the harbor! Staying here felt like a true authentic Chania experience that we were hoping for, the space was so unique and beautifully done. The best part of the stay was the host, who was SO welcoming and helpful to myself and my partner who needed help/suggestions for things here and there that came up along our stay. If you are visiting Chania and want to feel like you’re at home during your stay, this property is 100% a match for you! ❤️

Fantastic location and hosts

Our stay in Chania was made so much better by the fantastic hosts. They couldn't of been more helpful. The apartment was as stated in the description and the location, in the heart of the pulled town was perfect. The local restaurants and bars offer good food at reasonable prices. Overall, we enjoyed our stay: the hosts and location sealed the deal. A good holiday.

Fantastikos!

Der Kontakt mit der Vermieterin war immer unkompliziert und schnell. Glaubt den Bildern im Internet, es sieht dort wirklich genau so aus! Ein wunderbares Ambiente, absolut zentral in Chania. Etwas besseres kann man sich für einen Urlaub dort nicht vorstellen, wir waren überglücklich, auch mit den Empfehlungen der Vermieterin zu den Zielen vor Ort. Ganz große Klasse!

soggiorno ed esperienza indimenticabile

siamo rimasti sorpresi e affascinati dallo studio, casa in stile veneziano di una particolarità pazzesca. siamo italiani e purtroppo non parliamo inglese e tantomeno greco. abbiamo avuto la fortuna dell'accoglienza di nicole che ci ha affidato al marito manousos. persona eccezionale sotto ogni aspetto, di una disponibilità incredibile e soprattutto con una perfetta padronanza della lingua italiana. ha visitato diverse volte l'italia per motivi di lavoro. grazie ancora manousos , di averci aiutato a vivere una bella vacanza. canea la sera è la fine del mondo, ristoranti, bar, negozi pieni all'inverosimile. e poi abbiamo visitato le tre perle ( spiagge ) di creta. elonisi, balos , falasarna. è impossibile descriverne la bellezza, il fascino occorre vederle dal vero. ancora grazie
