Penny's Old Town Houses

Location

Small size of bathroom

Top location, modern interior, cosy and quiet place in the heart of Chania.

Steep stairs to reach the bedroom.

The apartment was lovely, clean and 2 minutes from the harbour. Penny was so kind, checked on us throughout our stay as well as coming in mid week to clean.

Nothing, cannot fault the apartment, location or owner.

I liked the modern and functional interior in an old/historical building. It’s well thought through, for a small space, they made the most of it. We had the downstairs apartment, with our outdoor seating on the walkway. Cafes, bars, the old harbor, and restaurants were just around the corners. The beaches were a 15 min walk away. We stayed 12 nights and the cleaning service happens every 3/4 days always after consultation with us as guests, so nothing to worry about here. The communication with Penny was very friendly, helpful and reliable.

The only thing to mention since it’s in the old city center, guests should be aware that it’s a busy area and there are always people walking by, some with suitcases. And since it’s a renovated building, the staircase for the upstairs apartment runs past/behind the downstairs apartment and it’s poorly soundproofed. So if you are a light sleeper just bring some earplugs and you’ll be fine.

Everything

-

The room is very well placed in one of the backstreets of the old town, just behind the harbour. Even so, it was very quiet, especially at night. It is a vertical apartment with the bathroom on one floor, then the bedroom plus balcony on the next floor, and finally a small terrace on the top floor. There is a windy staircase to get up and down the floors which would not be suitable for people of reduced mobility. The room was clean and quite modern and Penny, the host, is very helpful.

Nothing.

The apartment (no. 2) was very nice and well equipped and had both a small balcony and even a private roof terrace with sun loungers and lots of space. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom and well-equipped kitchen facilities. Spotlessly clean and tidy at arrival and we even had an extra cleaning during our 5 nights stay. Just a few seconds walk to the front of the inner harbour, but still quiet both day and night. Thanks to Penny for a wonderful stay. We sincerely hope to be back in the same apartment next time we visit Chania.

Great location. Clean place. Good communication with Penny before and during our stay. Gave us great restaurant suggestions which turned out to be nice places. 10/10 would love to stay here again.
