The apt was an easy 10€ cab ride from Heraklion airport.
Warning: 3 flights of steps are a little rough w/a big suitcase.
The apartment is lofted over the host's apt, with a lovely plant covered balcony. Xara has her beautiful handmade artwork displayed throughout and lovely artistic touches in decor. The loft is very unique and cozy. We were able to walk down town and explore easily from this location. We saw the lion fountain, ate some good food, and caught the bus to Knossos - without needing a cab.
Lovely stay in Heraklion.
