Nikias' apartment is small, but comfortable and modern, and at a walking distance to the town center. He was responsive and helped us find parking in the area. When we arrived, we also found a hand written-note in Italian, a very nice gesture, as well as some snacks and water in the fridge. The only (minor) issue is the shower, which had no curtains and flooded the bathroom floor. All in all, we would recommend his apartment for a short stay in Heraklion.
