Spacious, Clean and Comfy City Apartment
The apartment is very spacious with modern art and an updated beautiful décor. Plus, it feels very luxurious and has every comfort that you need. It is so close to the city center that you can almost touch Lion’s Fountain. Here are a few highlights that I really liked:
1. There are great shops for everything right outside the door. I wanted to buy everything (but could not fit it all in my suitcase).
2. There is a restaurant right across the street with a variety of delicious food. I ate there a few times a week. Plus, there are a lot more restaurants within 1-2 minute walk.
3. The internet is super fast and very reliable. I had to work online while I was there, and I always had a great connection.
4. There is great water pressure, which I found out is not always the case in Crete. So, I was very happy about this since I have long hair, and I need good pressure to get the shampoo out of it.
5. The heating and air conditioning work great – I was never too hot or cold.
6. There is every appliance that you need including a coffee maker, microwave and even a food processor (a food processor, what?!?). Loved it.
7. The hosts and owner were very hospitable. They greeted me with a variety of delicious homemade treats that I loved, and they made sure that I had everything that I needed, including easy access to them through Whatsapp. They were very patient and helpful and answered all of my questions (I had a lot). The owner’s daughter, Maro, even took me to a computer store and interpreted what I needed to the guy at the store in order to help me get the power cords that I needed for my phone and computer.
8. There is a TV with a variety of channels.
9. There is a pharmacy and coffee shop (my favorite) a few doors down with coffee, sandwiches and pastries, and a bakery and ice cream shop close by too.
10. The apartment is very close to all of the meeting places for excursions.
11. The bed and couches are very comfortable, and there are a lot of extra blankets and pillows in the closet.
I would recommend staying at the Oasis City Apartment if it is available. This apartment is a hidden gem. I was a bit hesitant to book here because there weren’t a lot of reviews, but I’m so glad that I trusted my instinct and stayed here. I wouldn’t change a thing. My only regret is that I didn’t have more time in Crete. I would stay in this lovely apartment again in a heartbeat.
