Nikos and his family are amazing hosts! This apartment is in a perfect location and the apartment itself is beautiful, with a lovely personal style and thoughtful touches including a bottle of local wine to greet you. Any questions about the area that I had, Nikos was immediately responsive. The bus is a 3-5 minute walk away as is the main road. There’s a supermarket right across the street from the apartment! I felt safe and secure during my stay. If I find myself in Heraklion again, I would definitely stay here.
