My husband and I just spent 2 weeks at this gorgeous property. Every single aspect of this rental exceeded our exceptions.
First, MaryEllen is an extremely responsive, helpful, and a great host! From our very first contact over a year before our stay and up to our sunset goodbye cocktail with her the night before we left. She offered us a lot of good advice in advance and answered my questions during our trip quickly (helping us to make the most of each excursion). We feel like we made a new friend!
It was obvious from the very moment we entered the property, that a lot of thought went into making this property welcoming & comfortable for guests. It is even more lovely than the pictures. The styling of the furnishings is upscale and yet so comfortable you feel right at home (nothing is “tired” or old…. everything is in great condition).
The kitchen is well outfitted to make cooking easy if you choose to stay in. There were many staples such as spices, olive oil, salt/pepper, crackers, butter, some coffee pods, sugar, etc. - - so nice not to have to buy those basics. We took advantage of the outside grill and their fresh herb garden several nights. MaryEllen, had stocked the fridge with a few necessities to make our arrival / first day seamless, without having to run straight to the grocery store.
The bathrooms are very clean, spacious, modern, with many towels, shampoo, soap, and plenty of toilet paper.
We took advantage of the washer / dryer so we didn’t have to pack as much nor bring home dirty clothes. We watched some Netflix a few evenings - - so nice to have an account set up for our use. I can’t even remember all the thoughtful things included in the apartment, but I think you get the idea.
Now, as for THAT VIEW! WOW! The outside sitting areas (yes there are several) are all comfortable and well placed. That magnificent infinity pool looking out to the sea and Chania is just breathtaking (and we even have our own pool at home). Every morning and and every evening we just soaked in that amazing, peaceful glorious view.
As mentioned in the listing, this is also a family home. MaryEllen lives nearby and her parents live on the two floors above the apartment - - yet you have complete privacy! We met both of them and thoroughly enjoyed talking with them, so therefore we often stopped to chat, but if you’re more private, there is no obligation.
You will not be disappointed with a stay here!
