Cosy apartment ideally sited to explore the old town of Chania. A bit difficult to find but frienfly hosts were quick to help. Complimentary home made raki snd olive oil too 😀

Squeaky roller door to bathroom but thats being very picky

Evans House is located in the Koum Kapi area which is about a 10-15 minute walk into the main hustle and bustle of Chania and its historic and tourist-draw historic old town. There is a mini market a few minutes walk from the apartment as well as a bakery next door to the mini market. The bus from the airport can drop you off at the Stadium bus stop which is about a 3-4 minute walk away. The sea front with tons of cute restaurants and cafes is barely a minute's stroll from Evans House. This is a quiet residential area and I felt very safe walking back to the apartment at night with my children. The apartment has outside lights that illuminate the building after dark which is a very nice touch. We (family of 3) stayed in the apartment upstairs which is laid out in an open plan style. It had high vaulted ceilings, stone walls and everything we needed for a comfortable stay including great air conditioning (it was blisteringly hot during our July stay). We didn't wind up cooking so can't comment on the stove etc but having a washing machine was incredibly useful and there was a large clothes horse provided for us to hang up washing on the terrace. The terrace itself was gorgeous and I loved and appreciated all the beautiful plants that the hosts had placed around the terrace. It was very peaceful and relaxing to sit out there among the plants whilst enjoying a cup of coffee (there were three different types of coffee makers provided as well). There were also lovely olive themed toiletries (shower gel, soap, shampoo and body lotion) provided in the bathroom. The only minor suggestion I would make for the hosts is to perhaps install a few more hooks or an extra towel rail in the bathroom.

I had kept the host informed of my arrival including messaging about my flight delay and also sent an update when I landed in Chania but when I went to the apartment there wasn't anyone there to meet me and I had to send texts and tried calling the host a few times which went unanswered. It was a bit stressful but Dani the host showed up after 15 minutes and all was well. Even with this hiccup, it didn't mar my stay and I would still recommend it if you're after a beautiful, well equipped and comfortable apartment in the area.

A beautiful restoration of an old building. It has great space with a couch and table in a separate room. We were in a ground floor apartment at the non parking side of the building, it was quietly residential. The area is perfect for a stroll into the walled old Chania with lots of restaurants along the water only about 100 m from the property. There are some small zany beaches there too. A great stay in a tasteful well positioned property with very helpful and accessible owners.

Nothing to like

The host was very welcoming and gave us home pressed olive oil and a bottle of rakia. The location was excellent and the parking easy. The host recommended a local seafood restaurant that was excellent and great value.

We were awakened by other guests who arrived at 1.30am in the morning. Maybe the host needs to have a key safe to facilitate entry after hours...

Excellent location of the apartment, a short walk from the centre. Everything clean. The apartment had all the necessary equipment, including washing machine, everything looks new, modern. Functional air conditioning. For our purpose - 2 nights in Chania ideal. The ground floor apartment is darker, which might bother some for a long stay, however at least it wasn't that hot inside.

the location was great. few minutes walking from metro station and from train station (train from the airport)'. many restaurants around the apartment. supermarket in the corner. the neighborhood felt safe to us. the hostess was available and helps us with everything we needed.

the sofa was not so comfortable for sleeping.

Check in was so smooth and easy, even though we arrived a little later than we had said we would. The place was cool in the heat of the day and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is perfect, not too central in the busiest parts of the old town but 30 seconds from the sea and an easy stroll into all the bustle of Chania.

Evans House is a beautiful little gem in the strategic Koum Kapi district; it's within walking distance to Splantzia and the city centre, and in a quiet side street - perfect even in August. The staff was great: they made us feel welcome and communication with them was fast and easy. We booked the studio with veranda; it's fully equipped and stylish, we really loved it.

The apartment is nicely renovated and well equipped. The location is great. The bed was super comfy. Kind staff.

The apartment is dark (gives a sense of being in a cellar) and cold, and the living room has no AC, so it's not really cozy if you want to spend time inside.

Good proximity to surrounding area; just a block from the sea to walk to restaurants, refreshments, old Town shopping, a short walk to a market, parking right on the street. Clean, comfortable, everything you need with helpful host.

Nothing not to like really. It takes a little getting used to the one way narrow streets and how to navigate the Chania area, but people are accommodating so it all seems to flow rather seamlessly really so relax and enjoy.
