Katerina and Michael have an excellent and spacious apartment a block away from the old Venetian walls. The park around the walls had flowers in full bloom and the entire area was just beautiful, fragrant and lovely. It is a short walk to the very center of Irakleio, through the atmospheric old quarter and its hidden Piazza’s.
The apartment is very well equipped and tastefully decorated. It is rare to find an Airbnb where one can prepare a meal from locally sourced ingredients and have all the full complement of kitchen tools that Katerina and Michael have provided. The three dining tables make for a comfortable and pleasant in-home dining experience.
Last and definitely not least, both hosts are extremely caring and sensitive to the needs of their guests. Katerina is quite involved in the local theater scene and Michael is well versed in poetry and literature. They are excellent conversationalists and provided us with many local tips and recommendations which turned out to be excellent.
