The appartment is beautiful and clean with a beautiful view. It has everything you need for a short or long-term stay. It is in a very quiet corner of Palaiokastro up on the slope. Giorgos is an excellent host, he would always respond to messages within a couple of minutes. You can reach Heraklion city in ca. 20 minutes through the highway. The only disadvantage is that the appartment is on a dirt road reached by a steep damaged asphalt road. The area is very beautiful, quiet and safe though. In the late summer evenings and early mornings you are reached by beautiful smell of jasmin planted at the entrance to the building. Higly requested stay if you are looking for calm and quiet and do not mind the kind of adventurous road. I stayed at the appartment for a little less than two months in the summer of 2018.
