Great hosts! They picked us up from the bus station, offered us rides (took my boyfriend to get a haircut), and took us to the airport EVEN THOUGH we only stayed for one night!!! Very informative, helpful, and sweet people. The studio was perfect: clean, had all amenities, and was separate from the rest of the house (privacy). There were at least two mini markets within a 5 min. walking distance with everything you might need and several restaurants. The bus stop to get to the center is across the street from one of the mini markets. Quite obviously this is the best option for your stay in Heraklion. Please tell Susan and Manolis we say hello!!!
