Beautiful apartment, everything is new and modern. Pictures are 100% accurate. All furniture is new, there is a smart TV present to watch Netflix etc. Wi-fi is great, there is an extender to reach the back of the apartment. The terrace gets a bit of sun only in the evening, which is great in the summer when it's very hot outside. There's an AC in every room.
It is located in a new residential area, about 20 mins walking distance from the city center, 30 from the Venetian Port. Taxi is about 8 euros.
Parking is available free of charge in front of the building or on the street.
You can hear the airplanes as they take off over Heraklion, the airport is close to the city, you probably have this issue almost anywhere in Heraklion. With the windows closed it's not a problem anymore.
Host was very welcoming, they waited for us with home-made cake and wine till we arrived in the evening, they gave us all the information required. Highly recommend!
