Ivi is a great host, and her property is perfectly centrally located to see and enjoy all the best of Heraklion. Apartment was supplied with everything necessary and when we asked about a hair iron, Ivi quickly supplied one. Archeological museum, Historical museum of Crete, Castello de Mare/Koules, 25th of August shopping street, and all the best restaurants are within a short walk. Two charming markets are each 1/2 block, and a supermarket if you’re staying a while (which we did, and recommend). All in all, a very satisfying experience.
