A big thanks to Anestis and Ionna for a lovely stay in Chania! The pictures of the property don't begin to do it justice. Because we found it hard to envision the space as it is shown online, here is how the house is set up.
The residence is divided into two apartments, stacked on one another. The lower apartment faces north, opening up to a terrace and the front yard and boasts northern views of the water. The lower apartment has its own 1/2 bath and kitchen and can easily sleep 5 people, with one separate bedroom offering privacy for 2 of the 5.
The entrance to the upper apartment is in the backyard where the pool and further terraces are situated and offers both western views of the mountains and eastern ones. The upper apartment sleeps 4 and the bedroom is especially luxurious, however there is no door between the two sleeping spaces (loft bedroom), so complete privacy is not available. This apartment has 1.5 baths and has the only "true" shower in the house along with its own kitchenette and 3 balconies.
We could not recommend this accommodation enough. Anestis was around the house unexpectedly throughout the week, so we had many chances to ask questions and get advice about the area as needed. Otherwise, the property is very private and secluded while still being close enough to walk to town for shopping or to smaller, nearby beaches.
