Would recommend Stelio's place to anyone who is visiting Heraklion, Crete.
Stelios is very responsive and communicates with good English. Prior to the trip upon request he provided us with comprehensive information and resources on things to do/see in Heraklion, not just limited to places of interests but also his recommended restaurant options/where to park etc, which were very helpful. His flat is located in a very central location in the old city, within walking distances to most places such as the Old Venetian Port/Venetian Wall/Archeological Museum etc. Basically during our stay we walked to everywhere in town, which is quite compact and easy to walk to. The neighbourhood is very lively and you are surrounded by restaurants/shops and no cars are permitted to enter this zone, which makes walking very pleasant. Essentially the location is superb. We rented a car and we managed to find free parking on nearby streets every night (though with quite a bit of search but still manageable) hence suggest those driving to avoid paid parking. Stelio's flat is stylish and has all amenities we needed. We were overwhelm by Stelio's hospitality as he dropped by on our check-out date and presented us some gifts. Lastly, the pastry shop right opposite the flat - by the name of 'SAMARIA', is a must-go place for your coffee/pastry/breakfast. Their hospitality is so exceptional and you will not regret.
