Iannis provided a larger unit than we expected for two persons, we had a three bedroom. On arrival, he provided informative dialogue which moved to some commonalities related to The Esplanade in Montréal & Toronto.
Very happy to make a local dinner reservation for us, he was an energetic host.
The complex has a common pool, and great sight line to the sea, and sunset.
Parking is free on the streets of Crete. The street of the bnb does not go direct to the beach, you have to walk to the Kalathas main road which takes you downhill to Kalathas Beach. You can drive but parking is a mess. There are many other beaches within 15-30min drive.
We used Esplanade bnb as a hub for our travel. As the bnb is not in Chania city, you will find many larger stores for shopping on your drive into the center.
We used the kitchen of the bnb unit and all worked well. It does get a bit warm in the kitchen-dinjng-tv room as there is no aircon unit serving that space.
We would have stayed longer but the place was booked.
