Marika's Penthouse Chania

Marina's apartment has everything you could possibly need during your vacation - air conditioning and fan, washing machine, hair dryer, dishwasher. It is very close to Nea Chora beach and there is a big supermarket nearby. The big balcony has furniture and we ate breakfast there. Marina lives on the base floor and was very nice and welcoming. Would definitely go there again!

We travelled to Crete with two young children - one 3 years old and one 9 months old. The stay here was fantastic and the hosts were so accommodating and helpful during our two week stay! Marina and Nick made sure we had everything we needed, even boxes of toys for the kids to play with. They checked in with us and were great at giving us updates on what was going on in the area. If you are travelling with or without children, this is a great base. It's a lovely walk to Chania Old Town and a 5 minute walk to the beach. Very well equipped apartment, beautiful balcony, brilliant hosts.

Es war alles sehr gut aber besonders mochten wir: - die durchdachte Ausstattung, man muss nichts von zu Hause mitnehmen, nur Kleidung - Ausstattung besonders für Familien (Töpfchen, Bettgitter, extra lunchboxen, Spielzeug, sandspielzeug,,…) - sehr bequeme hochwertige Betten - leise Klimaanlagen - super Lage, Supermarkt und Minimarkt sind einen Katzensprung entfernt - zum Strand ist es ebenfalls nicht weit - total liebenswertes Vermieter Ehepaar, super nett, hilfsbereit, unkompliziert - es ist genau wie auf den Bildern - Waschmaschine

- Waschmaschine selbst müsste gereinigt und desinfiziert werden

Location was good for both the beach at access to the old town. There were also lots of local communities which were very useful for our stay. The apartment has excellent facilities is very clean and the outdoor area is marvellous for the warmer evenings.

The only thing that could've been better which is outside of the control of the owners is the noise from local dogs that took us awhile to get used to

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Marina & Nick’s apartment! The location is fantastic, the terrace is huge and perfect for relaxing, the kitchen is spacious, and having a washing machine and included amenities made our stay super convenient. The apartment itself is beautiful, and having the hosts living just downstairs made communication and support easy and stress-free — they are incredibly kind and responsive. While there were roadworks on the street during our stay (which the hosts could not control), Marina & Nick were extremely understanding and handled the situation very fairly, ensuring our experience remained enjoyable. Overall, we loved everything about the apartment and the hospitality — we would definitely recommend it and hope to return!

Location was perfect. 5 min walk to beach and restaurants all so close. Easy 15min walk to Old Town main centre. Supermarket 2 minute walk away. Beautiful massive balcony to relax on all day long. Everything you need is so close - loved our stay here.

Road construction was happening in the surrounding blocks, which made it a little more difficult for parking. But we still managed to find parking close by.

Duży taras. Klimatyzacja w każdym pokoju. Wszystkie udogodnienia są dostępne na miejscu. Właścicielka bardzo miła i pomocna. Można poprosić o ręczniki na plażę i parasol do ochrony przed słońcem. Bardzo blisko na plażę i do supermarketu.

Na tarasie zwłaszcza wieczorami jest bardzo ciepło. Markiza chroni przed insektami ale blokuje powiewy wiatru.

This is an excellent home to stay in Crete. Close to the center of Chania, the beach and everything else you need like markets, coffee shops, etc. The apartment it is exactly how is described (photos included). And the best host that we could have asked for. Perfect communication and helped us with any information we needed.

Marina and Nick are perfect hosts. Eager to offer information and recommendations without being obtrusive, even though they live on the ground floor of the apartment block. The accommodation itself is beautifully furnished and decorated and has every amenity you would require for your stay. The beds are so comfortable. There is plenty of wardrobe space and there are ceiling fans and air conditioning in each bedroom, which was a godsend, as the temperature hardly dropped below 30°c whilst we were there. The walk-in shower was powerful enough with easily adjustable temperature control. We were supplied with gorgeous shampoo, conditioner, shower cream and body lotion. In fact, we all went out and bought some to bring home! The kitchen is very well equipped with a full sized cooker, dishwasher and huge fridge. The star of the show though, is the massive terrace. It's as big as the whole apartment and has comfortable furniture and a dining area that we spent many hours enjoying. Even though we were in the town, we had amazing views of the White Mountains (Lefka Ori). The location is perfect - literally 5 minutes walk away from Nea Chora beach and about a 20 minute stroll from the Venetian Harbour with its countless bars, shops and restaurants. Thank you so much to Marina and Nick for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and making our first visit to Crete a memorable one.

There was nothing that we didn't like, but we found that on swelteringly hot mornings (every day!), the one open sided part of the terrace that currently has a transparent blind, could have benefited from an opaque option to help keep us cool.

We loved the apartment. It is beautifully decorated and well equipped. The terrace is huge and provides a lovely private outdoor space. The kitchen is modern and has all the conveniences of home. The bathroom is spacious. The hosts, Marina and Nick, were very friendly and helpful making us feel most welcome! The location is fantastic! Very easy walk to the beach, restaurants, and markets! We highly recommended staying at Marika’s Penthouse!

We liked everything!
