A nice and convenient place to stay near Heraklion, a 15 minute bus ride away, so it's easy to get to the city centre, port, central bus station or airport if needed. The studio is clean and spacious in a small building near the main street. The description is clear that the unit has a balcony with a view of the swimming pool and lounge area of the hotel next door, but we found this to be an odd and slightly amusing selling point because it's a view of many people enjoying something you don't have access to. The other side of the view of the mountain and sea is beautiful. The beach is very close and it's nice to spend the day there, but you do not have access to the lounge chairs that are pictured in the photos and the lounge chairs nearby are for another resort. Also, the host charges a tourist tax that is not listed in the booking page and we weren't made aware of it until we checked in. It's applied by the government and is not much, but guests should be aware of it before booking. There is a small kitchenette with a hot plate but no oil, salt, pepper or any cleaning products such as soap and a sponge are provided. The studio only provides one roll of toilet paper and one small hand soap per person. If you'd like more you'll have to buy your own or have your unit cleaned at a price of 25 euros. All in all, it's a nice, clean and spacious place to stay at a budget price so keep in mind that it's not a resort like the other places nearby and you'll have a great time!
