Our short stay at Ioanna's place was perfect. We arrived in heraklion late after a long bus ride and she was very welcoming and happily came to retrieve us when we managed to get lost looking for the apartment. The apartment is BEAUTIFUL! Clean, comfortable, tastefully designed and very spacious with two double beds in their own bedrooms and two very comfortable couches which she provides bedding for if needed. When we arrived there was a welcoming snack and a sample of local cretian grape spirit. In the morning, Ioanna took us to the ferry port even though we were leaving quite early. The location is a short taxi ride from the ferry port and bus station in heraklion (about 2km) in a nice neighborhood with stores and places to get food. Definitely recommended!
