Evans House

Great stay for a small group! Staff was great and communicative, there was clear instruction on how to get to and from the Chania airport using buses or taxi. Fantastic location to old town Chania! Great beach access as well. Would definitely recommend again. Room can get a little stuffy, but AC fan works perfect

Apartment itself for the money is pretty good, location is great (right by the sea, beach 2 min walk, old town 5-7 min walk). Some things didn’t work like hot water kettle (we used pot to boil water). Apartment uses solar heater for hot water as probably most do in Greece. Main reason for lower score (4 out of 5) is poor communication from owners. Apparently you should let them know when you arrive in advance, to be fair they mentioned that in check-in instruction but having booked 6 places on the trip I forgot about it. All other Airbnb owners reached out themselves asking about arrival. This owner did not and we had to wait with suitcases at closed door. She for the most part doesn’t pickup the phone (we used WhatsApp) nor does she respond to messages in any reasonable time. We ran out of cold water and texted in the morning only to hear back late night when we were already sleeping. We took cold showers first 2 days because there is simply not enough hot water for 2 people and she did not provide any instructions how to use electric heater nor did she mention in her check-in instructions hot water issue and availability of electric heater. So I would give 2 out of 5 for communicating with guests and poor response times.

The house rooms were very comfortable and well equipped. A lovely and traditional place near the seaside. A good place to start walks in the evening or to go shopping or dining in the city center. We would come again.

Lovely big space with a great terrace. Hot water is solar but has a heater if needed. Kitchen is quite well equipped although youre so close to so much good food, you won't need it. Washing machine is a total bonus. Parking isnt allowed directly outside but we had no problem parking in the next street after dropping off bags. Call the owner on arrival and you'll be inside 5 minutes later. We would absolutely stay again.
