The appartment is situated well for tours with an own car in Iraklion and the surrounding beaches (plenty & very different) and sights (i.e. old temple of Knossos).
The appartment itself is very modern and perfect for family with kids (we were 2 adults & 3 kids). Everything a family needs is there and functional.
The balcony to the street is really big and has a dining table as well the option to grill yourself (we didn't). We found 2 very cool restaurants right around the corner and
2 Supermarkets, a grocery store & a little shop allowed us flexibility as the sightseeing or beaches ... or the kids dictated ;-)
Definitely a premium stay in Iraklion with a great host!
