The apartment absolutely exceeded my expectations! From the very beginning communication with the owner and the manager was smooth. I received a fast response to all my questions and was provided with the necessary guidance and help when needed. Due to late arrival, we self-checked in which, thanks to instructions, was very easy. The apartment was clean and looked just like the pictures :) Very light, spacious and beautifully furnished. At the front, there is a big terrace overlooking the sea and a smaller one on the east side of the apartment where we could have a barbecue. The kitchen is equipped very well, we were making dinner on our own a few times and we found there everything that was needed. The air-condition was available in every room, so high temperatures were not a problem :) When it comes to bedrooms, there were big wardrobes, comfortable beds as well as blinds to keep the room dark. Overall, the apartment is stunning and I am sure no one will regret visiting this place :)
There are apartments above and below the one we stayed in but we did not hear any noises and every apartment had its own private area, so we almost felt like we are there alone. Regarding the location, I believe it is easier to stay here if you have a car but we decided not to rent one. It takes around 20 mins to get to the beach by foot but be prepared for a little bit challenging uphill walk. We found two mini markets which we reached in 5-10 mins by foot and we found there some basic things to buy. Also, it takes 20 mins to get to the bus stop where we caught a cheap bus to the Heraklion, so I can confirm there are a lot of things to do even if you do not have a car.
