Modern, chilled, nature, flowers, relaxation…
Pros: The apartment is modern and clean. It is great for hot days as being on the ground floor and having trees in front of it keeps it chilled. The hosts are nice and super helpful. At the beginning, the location can seem a bit tricky as it’s in a neighbourhood not far from Nea Chora beach but then you realise you have access to the beach and to other beaches east of the city. You can also walk into town and experience the nice city vibes with lots of events, tavernas and boutique shops. And yes forgot the front garden - it’s a super nice corner of heaven.
Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect.

A great place , well located for a week's stay. Well equipped with modern amenities -would recommend
Pros: The apartment is part of the ground floor of the owner's 3 storey house. It's in a pleasant neighbourhood with the main street just a couple of minutes walk. Supermarkets, good butcher, coffee shops and usual high st amenities are just a few minutes walk away. The centre of Chania is 10 minutes walk, parking is off street and secure. The owner is very amenable and even though a barbeque is not listed he lent us his own. The garden is very well tended by his wife though it is at the front of the property. This isn't much of a problem as there is a bollard to stop cars accessing so it's pleasant to sit outside in the evening without people walking by.
Cons: Grill tray could do with a grate. You need to use an oven shelf with the tray underneath to grill anything - not the easiest. Kitchen knives could do with a sharpen if you are doing much cooking but we mentioned to the owner and he is actioning. Front door could do with a handle. They have a key holder like hotels you put the key in to keep the lights etc on so you can't go out leaving a/c etc on. Only thing is if you are outside you need to leave the door open, if it shuts in the wind as it did on us once you have to climb through the kitchen window!

The Prickly Pear Apartment is a very nice cosy place, where you can feel at home, while staying in Chania. Also a great
Pros: Great, quiet location, cosy apartment. The little garden in front of the house was just perfect to have a meal, relax in the shadow of the trees. Xanthi and her husband welcomed me w/ fruits, home made cake and some Creten specialty and the traditional red eggs for Easter :-) The apartment was absolutely well equipped and clean. Frankly you cannot ask for more.
Cons: I cannot list anything, sincerely all was very good, even beyond my expectations. I have rented multiple apartments already around the world through different platforms. This place is in my Top 5.

Pros: Nous avons passé un séjour formidable à la.canée. Appartement situé à 25 min à pied du port vénitien. Commerces à proximité. Appartement très propre, très bien équipé avec un jardin très bien aménagé et très appréciable. Quartier très calme. Xanthi et sa compagne sont des personnes très gentilles, serviables et très discrètes. Nous avons adoré la crête et y reviendrons avec plaisir.
