Great accommodation, lovely hosts, perfect location, much bigger than we anticipated.
Pros: Great location, right in the heart of the old town but peaceful. Exceptional value as you have your own private large space on multi levels. A lot of history in the building too. Lovely hosts who made us feel really welcome. We will definitely return for longer next time. Thank you.

A comfortable stay in a beautiful part of the old town.
Pros: The property was in a great location. It was very close to the Venetian harbour and the lovely alleys of the old town. It felt like we were living like a local. While the property is not modern, it is very comfortable and had everything we needed. There is plenty of space too. The house is one of the cleanest I have stayed in. The owners, Costa and Xenia are the kindest and loveliest people you could meet. The upstairs terrace was amazing for getting washing dry also. I would highly recommend this property.
Cons: There was very little not to like. It can be a little noisy with the Greek music coming from the restaurant opposite, but when we closed the shutters it was nice and quiet.

Pros: Thank you Xenia and Costas for your hospitality and being so responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in your charming and spacious house, as well as the delicious yogurt and honey. Kumquats were yummy too! We look forward to staying with you again next time we are in Chania.

A lovely stay in the heart of Chania old town
Pros: We loved staying at Odyssey House! Xenia and Costas were excellent hosts, so welcoming and helpful and kind. They made great recommendations and gave us little gifts when we left too (local olive oil and a very nice home made liqueur). The house is full of character, a very old building full of history and very nicely renovated. A comfortable stay altogether. We also loved the restaurant across, and very easy access to the port and a lovely walk away from Nea Chora beach!
Cons: The facilities in the kitchen are basic enough, but at the same time we had everything we needed. There are lots of stairs (the house is on 3 levels), so not as safe for toddlers, but our kids learnt the limits quick enough. It can also get noisy late at night as the restaurant across has live music (but we did enjoy it ourselves one evening, and it was great, really!)

Great location with lovely hosts!
Pros: This appartement has a great location within short walking distance to everywhere in Chania. Very spacious in three floors. All basic equipment available. Effective A/C. Small terrace on top floor (no view though). Especially suitable for adults, with small children /elderly people three floors might be bit challenging. The owner couple are absolutely gorgeous, very friendly and welcoming! Small give aways brighten up your vacation!
Cons: This did not disturb us, but good to notice that appartement has only one bathroom in the middle floor. It is a very old building so this is very understandable, but might be a challenge again for families with small children.

A great place to stay
Pros: We were made to feel so welcome, Costas and Xenia couldn't have been more helpful. The location was perfect - in the old town, nearest to the more authentic parts of Chania and close to an abundant amount of cafes, restaurants and shops. We were greeted in person on arrival, even though it was late and there was plenty of information regarding the house and the area available in the accommodation. It's a little further to the nearest beach from this part of Chania, but an easy walk through the labyrinth of interesting streets made it totally worthwhile. Our hosts were readily available if we needed anything but were totally respectful of our privacy. The house is cleaned regularly, and the small gifts they left for us were such a kind touch. The bus service, if you want to explore the coast, is very good, though it's very easy to just while away the hours in Chania.
Cons: There was nothing we didn't like. Don't be put off by the restaurant just outside the house. it's not noisy and is closed by midnight. It's also worth a visit!
