We can't praise this Airbnb enough. Location, apartment, hosts - everything is perfect. The place is located in the middle of a wide shopping street that is usually busy but there is NO noise. Apartment is fully stocked with everything you could need - espresso machine, clothing iron, etc. Ignatio and Mikaela are wonderful, gave us suggestions on what to do and see, and were very welcoming and there for whatever we needed. Not to mention, Mikaela waited for us to arrive at 1am with drinks and food because it was late. The beach is 15 - 20 minutes away by bus, and everything is very well connected by public bus. If you're looking for a place to stay in Heraklion - this is it!
