Our family of 2 adults and 2 children spent wonderful 4 nights at Charalabos's apartment in Iraklio.
Here's why it was so great:
1) Charalabos (who lives in Chania) and his relatives who live in the same house with the apartment are very friendly, helpful, communicative and speak very good English.
2) The location of the apartment is perfect. Very close to the main sights, numerous restaurants (the closest taverna in just 50 meters), cafes, shops and transport connections, but on a small quiet street with almost zero traffic. Bedrooms have windows to the inner courtyard.
3) The apartment is designed with lot of love and care. Nice colors and pictures. It's a very pleasant place to be.
4) There's a nice balcony! An ideal place for chilling with a glass of wine in the evening.
5) If you'd like to cook a proper family meal, it's possible. There are all kind of pots, pans and other kitchen utensils you'd ever need. And there's a great espresso machine as well!
6) There are even toys for children and other small, but at some point important stuff.
Well, we can surely recommend this apartment when staying in Iraklio.
PS. Charalabos has also an apartment (soon 2) in Chania!
