We had a great stay at Stavros' place! Stavros was very welcoming and very caring for us all week: he gave us very good recommendations of restaurants / places to go out, helped to find a car rental, changed towels and was especially available for any question! The apartment is very nice and cozy, located just 5min walk from Liberty Square (crossing the park) and 15min from the port. The neighborhood is very quiet but also near to the historic center, much more lively. The terrace with garden is shaded and very pleasant. It is very easy to get by bus from the airport to Liberty square (20min) and then to the apartment (5min). Heraklion is a pretty town but we advise you to explore the rest of the island! Stavros is the ideal host that we all looking for with airbnb, we will gladly return in Crete !
