We had a wonderful time at Nikos's place. The house was clean and well furnished. We had plenty of space for our young family and felt right at home. The location is very peaceful, and there's a good variety of local beaches/tavernas to go to (Nikos gave us some great tips!). It's also conveniently located near the highways for access to the sights in Heraklion, the west and south.
We'd definitely stay there again!
