Maria's place was perfect. The loft was very modern and clean as well as right in the city center. I felt very safe during my stay. I was not able to meet Maria herself due to her being ill but she was in constant communication with me during my entire stay. I had a delayed flight getting into Heraklion and she had her mother and friend meet me very late at night for checkin and to make sure everything was okay. Maria and her mother were so incredibly sweet and made me feel like I was part of their family. I would love to stay here again next time I am in Heraklion.
