Andreas' apartment is simple yet practical. It has everything you may need for a pleasant and comfortable stay. The communication with him was great - he replied quickly and helped us if we needed anything.
Apartment is located on the main road in Ammudara. The noise from the street can be a bit disturbing at night firstly, if you are a light sleeper, but once you get used to it, it's fine. However, the location of the apartment is great since it has everything you may need in a walking distance - mini market across the street, supermarket 10 minutes walk away, beach a minute away and a bus station next to it. However, discovering the bus's schedule was a bit tricky. We discovered bus 1 (to the airport, city center) leaves aproximately every 15 minutes. I think the same goes for the bus 6 (to Ammudara). The bus tickets can be purchased in the mini market or in gift shops on the road leading to the beach.
To sum up, the apartment was exactly as mentioned and Andreas was a excellent host. We would recommend his apartment for your stay near Heraklion.
