We had about 10 beautiful vacation days in this great place. The apartment is isolated from the main tourist street and therefore very quite. Way to this street is short leading you to the net of numerous restaurants and shops. A lot of parking place on site. The shortest way to the beach we found was ~500 meters, a path along the street, which was totally ok. The apartment is very comfortable and has everything you need, i.e. to prepare dinner, eat outside on front balcony, wash things and dry them outside at the back balcony, etc. We did not use A/C because nights were perfectly warm but not hot. Bedroom has sliding door with independent anti-insect door, which is extremely practical. Vasiliki is a very nice host, she provided us with all necessary info so that we could immediately enjoy staying there on our own but being in touch when we had some questions. Thankfully we did not hear much of other guests around in the house due to sufficiently good isolation. For us it was a bit difficult to get by bus from Heraklion airport, which required several buses. Therefore, on the way back we had to take the taxy which was quite expensive. The smarter way would be to rent a car with possibility to drop it off at the airport. In general, the location is great, it allows you easily to cover a lot of unique places including several ancient cities (~30 min by car), museums, beautiful gorges, waterfalls, and of course beaches on north and south shores within 1hr by car. Very recommended!
