The location of John’s accommodation was ideally located near the centre of Heraklion, with plenty of great restaurants and shops within walking distance. Even near the centre, the neighbourhood was quiet, allowing for a good sleep. John was an extremely generous host and made our stay in Heraklion comfortable. He really went above and beyond from any host that we’ve had in the past. One other thing to emphasize is that of all the places we stayed in Greece, John’s kitchen was by far the best equipped with good cutlery, good-as-new equipment, and a cutting board (which was absent from a lot of the places we stayed!). As people who like to cook while travelling, this made a huge difference. We definitely recommend John's place.
