Aphrodite House

Location was perfect. Everything we needed was in the house. fantastic terrace. Very clean.

There could be more information on there being 40 stairs in the house. My two friends had to be very careful as they are not as fit as me. We were not happy about the cleaners coming to the house at 5 pm to change sheets etc. That is a time when most people would be at the house to shower and chill before the evening.We had to sit with our feet up in the lounge because the floors had been mopped.They left at nearly 7 pm.

One of the best locations in Chania Old Town. Not much noise at nights. Very clean and well furnished. Nothing was missing. The owner was courteous and helpful. We felt quite welcome. We parked for free outside the city and used the free shuttle that arrives to its last stop in 10 minutes. From there it’s about a 350-meter walk to the property. For us it was a very practical solution.

The house has three storeys that are reachable by steep stairs. The kitchen and the only bathroom are on the first floor above ground. One bedroom is on the second floor and the other on the third. If you are getting up a few times for toilet every night, it might become unbearable. I wouldn’t choose this property if I had noticed this problem. I would mind the steep stairs less if there were bathrooms next to the bedrooms.

The location of the property is excellent! It is located on a pedestrianised street right in the centre of Chania surrounded by bars and restaurants and the beach is only a short walk away. This property also has a gorgeous terrace which my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed using for various lunches and evening meals. On arrival, the host had very kindly left some food for us which was a lovely touch. The communication with the host was excellent both prior to our visit and during. I would highly recommend this property and if I return to Chania, I will definitely be staying here again.

Location, cleanliness fully equipped.

We were not aware of the steep steps leading up to as well as within the apartment.

Very central location in a quiet street. Very clean and comfortable and owner Very responsive to needs.

Aphrodite House is located very centrally in the old town of Chania close to the harbour and everything you may wish to access. The main bus station is approx 10 minutes walk away and offers a range of reliable and inexpensive buses to other towns on the island. The house is set over three floors with the first floor offering a lounge, kitchen and bathroom. The second floor has a double bedroom facing the lane and a large landing area. The top floor has a twin room at the rear of the property and a lovely roof terrace overlooking the lane. The house was in immaculate condition, the kitchen had an extensive range of equipment, there was also a washing machine which was located in the bathroom. The house is tastefully decorated and comfortable for a group of people. An important factor for me was the very responsive communication with the owner Aphrodite, this was both prior to and during our stay. Any messages were answered almost immediately.

The negative side to being in the centre of things was that the double bedroom in particular experienced some noise, mainly at night but this had been mitigated as far as possible by effective double glazing and shutters.

Loved the location, in a lovely little atmospheric lane tucked in just steps away from the harbour. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you would need for a stay. The bed was super comfortable. The landlady was very nice and easy to contact. I don't believe we could have chosen better for our stay.

A word of warning, steps. There are a lot of steps, beginning at front entrance and they are steep, so if you are not reasonably fit beware. The wi fi did not work on balcony which was disappointing but on lower levels it was excellent. Because it is in the middle of a busy tourist area above cafes and restaurants it is noisy at night so you need to be a person who does not mind a bit of street noise.
