The apartment is perfect for a few days in Iraklio and the surrounding cities. It's fully equipped and we even got some beer in the fridge. The apartment is close to the beach, although you have to cross the street and can't really see the beach/sea from the apartment. It's only a 15 minute drive to downtown Iraklio.
As Andreas wrote in the description, the street is very noisy (no music or neighbors, just lots of traffic).
We liked the apartment and would come back. Good value for money.
