The place is in general well located. The beach is close and there's a bus that goes to Heraklion (doesn't pass by the airport though). There's also a great nice nearby. The town itself is not so crowded, compared to the major cities. The apartments are next to a highway and the airport, but I wasn't disturbed by these.
In general, we found it a pleasant stay. We didn't spend much time in the apartment, and mainly come back in the evening to sleep.
