This apartment is truly just as good as the pictures indicate! Eva is a great host, and made us feel very welcome. The apartment is very well furnished and tasteful, and has everything you need to serve as a good base for exploring Iraklion and the region. The two bedrooms are very comfortable, the main bathroom is very spacious, and the view from the balcony is even more breathtaking in real life than the pictures show!
The city center is only a 10-15 minute walk away, with all its restaurants and one of the better archaeological museums in Europe. We also loved relaxing at the Envy restaurant and lounge just next door overlooking the waterfront, with both decent food and good drinks. It’s also in a part of the city which is convenient to reach by car, which is practical when going sightseeing by rental car in the area. (Don’t miss going for lunch in great villages in the wine district, like Arkhánes, and Anógia up in the mountains west of Iraklion is also a nice place!)
We have rented a number of places in Sicily, the northwest of the US and Canada over the last 3-4 years, and this is definitely one of the very best places we have stayed. It comes highly recommended!
