Silvia was attentive and gracious from the first moment. The apartment is in the perfect location for exploring Chania and was ready and waiting the moment we arrived complete with homemade cake! Silvia was poised to assist without being invasive. She provided an area map, food reccomendations, and day trip excursions (that ended up being one of our Crete highlights). The room was clean and very well stocked with all the neccesities. Highly reccomend Silde!

My girlfriend and I stayed at Silde in October and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We booked the top room for a couple of nights and ended up adding an extra night in the room on the first floor. The top floor room is quite a hike up the stairs but well worth it for the views from the balcony which looks out over Chania (also a perfect spot for a peaceful, sunny breakfast). It is clean, comfortable and traditional traditional lodging. The room on the first floor was also great - a smaller balcony put you more in the street but this was almost more fun than the top floor.

As other reviewers have noted, Silvia is a lovely host who is excpetionally friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and her cakes are ace.

I could not imagine a better location - you are just a few steps from the harbour and parking is a 5 minute walk away.

Places like Silde deserve all the success they get!

Silde's owner Silvia welcomed us like family during our second stay. We were late booking, as usual, so only the ground floor studio was available. Despite our concerns over noise we slept well - the air-conditioning works well so you can close the windows which keep out most of the noise. The airco is placed above the living room section so it does not blow on in bed - the usual thoughtfulness you find at Silde. We were struck again by how well equipped the apartments are - really nothing missing. The advantage of the ground floor is you use the table and chairs (with umbrella, of course) on the street as the locals do and begin to become part of the street scene, sharing a kalimera with the local residents. Soon we had all the many windows and the door open to the world - just had to remember modesty when leaving the shower. Wifi worked a treat. Terrific value. Thanks again Silvia.

I can only agree with the other glowing reviews. The owner is helpful and friendly, well located in the old town near to everything, comfotable and with all you need for a short stay. The owners suggested restaurants are excellent. Cannot fault this for a home away from home feel.
