This is a very nice unit and perfect place to explore the downtown and Knossos. We flew from San Francisco to Athen and then directly to Crete/Heraklion to begin our Greece 3 week exploration. We wanted to begin with 2 days in Heraklion to explore Knossos palace, the museum, and downtown. This unit is perfect. It's 2 min from the museum and taxi stand which takes you to Knossos palace (13 euros taxi ride). It's 2-3 min from the main downtown and 10 min from the port. There is a supermarket, gym and main bus station within a 5 min walk. We walked to all of these locations. The unit is very well appointed with a complete modern renovation. It's very comfortable and quiet. The bed is firm, the bathroom and kitchen are new. We work on our computers and there's plenty of space for 2 people. The internet is very good (about 50mb/sec download, 20mb/sec upload) reliable, and consistent. We were out exploring all day so we didn't need a view. It's quiet and comfortable. The AC worked great. Elena and George are outstanding hosts! They patiently answered 1000 messages from us.
