We had a rough beginning- I had lost my phone so I couldn't get through to Mari and the phone number appearing on the net of AirBNB didn't belong to Mari, so when we arrived there nobody was waiting for us and we knew nothing about the flat or its owner (just back from our trip I found some information from Mari letting us know about the appartment in advance), however some really kind neighbours cooperated straight away and we managed to find the flat. WE had a few problems for there was no running water or hot water afterwards, but once we got in touch with Mari everything was settled down and her mum brought us some watermelon and pastries to welcome us. The flat was simple but with the necessary equipment, however the bed was two small and we needed to put the mattress on the floor, on a blanket to avoid damaging it, so as to avoid any possible falls during the night. Despite this, we enjoyed our stay there and Mari provided us with a taxi driver early on our departure day, which was really helpful! The flat is about a 50-minute walk from the city center but it's worth such a walk along the seafront. Heraklion is a lovely place to visit and Mari's flat a good option if you like to walk. The neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful and the neighbours really charming! All in all, a pleasant stay!
