Χαρά is the lovely host of a lovely place. She greeted me with some tasty snacks, made me a cup of Greek coffee to drink while we chatted, and sent me on my way with some delicious homemade biscuits.
The apartment looks as good as the pictures show it to be, brimming with Χαρά's artworks, and the balcony feels very lush with all those plants. It is only a short walk down main streets to get to the city center, so it is very convenient for exploring Heraklion.
All in all, an excellent experience.
