You will enjoy Ilias' apartment for three reasons. First, as advertised, Ilias is an excellent host. We arrived very late and he was there to greet us, but he does not charge a late fee that is sometimes indicated for other locations. He provided bottled water (although Heraklion is reputed to have excellent tap water) and a couple of cans of beer. Second, the apartment is clean and the bed is really comfortable. Third, the location is amazing. You can easily walk to literally every amenity, including bus stops, in the downtown area of Heraklion, and the seaside. There are a number of highly rated restaurants and bars within a two-minute walk.
