The location of this apartment was great - a 10 minute walk to just about anywhere you want to see in the heart of Iraklio. The shopping, restaurants and neat family shops were all very close by. It would be about a 15 minute walk to the Port and all wonderful things along the waterfront. The car rental places are all close by as well. We rented a car from a shop close by the waterfront and Stella let us park in her driveway, which was very helpful as parking was a bit of a thing if you aren't used to the traffic here. Located off the main street, the apartment has everything you need. Some of the things need updating but they aren't deal breakers. The bedroom is at the back of the apartment so we did not hear a thing at night. Both air conditioners worked very well. It was quite large and nice to have some extra space. The terrace has 2 chairs and a table and it was lovely to sit out during the evening - even though you are looking at other buildings. What can we say about Stella - she is absolutely lovely! Went above and beyond to help us when travel arrangements changed last minute and she was always so friendly and helpful.
