Wonderful place to stay: 2 minutes from the beach (there is a pointer), calm place (at night you can hear sea waves), plenty of restaurants, shops, car rent offices, pharmacy also, 3 min away, bus station 2 min away (whatever direction you will take).
We were kindly welcomed by Nick, he speaks perfectly English, and he's always there to help you and advise. Lovely cake and fruit bowl was waiting on the table.
Apartment: superbly clean, accomodating, you have everything you need, if you won't find it Nick will arrange that. Owners of the appartment live next door, as someone said they speak only greek, but they were asking if everything is alright, also brought fresh bed sheets and towels.
The center of Heraklion is in 10 min by car, and 25 by bus. Tickets can be found in kiosques/ticket machines (there is one close to the apartment: Price 1.70 EUR, if you buy at the bus 2 EUR)
It was a great easy breezy stay which made us super relaxed thanks to hospitality of Nick and owners of the apartement!
