Maria is a lovely host—she was kind and communicative, and she was quick to answer questions. The Airbnb is right in the heart of Heraklion, very walkable. Do keep in mind that it is very loud at night in the apartment, until early hours of the morning. Granted, we stayed there during high season, on a holiday weekend, so potentially the noise level would be better on weeknights, or during less busy times of year.
