Renting this apartment was a big hit for us. We were welcomed by Defkalion - a friend of George - and he helped us get settled and showed us the neighborhood. Defkalion is such a great guy and had even left some things in the fridge for us (the homemade liquor was so delicious). It made taking over the apartment much easier.

The apartment was precisely what we had expected from the description here and the location was great. Right by the harbour with a great view and just steps from the Heraklion Archaeological Museum (where we spent an entire day). It is also very near to a bus station. Parking was a nightmare, but we learned not to rent a car to stay in Heraklion in the future.

We would love to come back and stay an entire month in this apartment. If you do there is only a few things to take into consideration. There is no elevator and the apartment is on the third floor, the water pressure is not great (as a lot of places in Crete) and it is a bit far to a proper place to get groceries. On the other hand, I doubt you get a better internet connection anywhere else in Heraklion and those things are minor and easy to live with. Don't miss the sunrise over the port of Heraklion from the balcony while you eat breakfast.

We wouldn't hesitate to book this apartment again in the future.
