Mary & Marin's place is beautiful. Super stylish (we love Zara Home too!) and right in the heart of buzzing Heraklion. You can fall out of the door and into one of Mary's incredible restaurant recommendations with no fuss at all (the chickpea was our favourite: https://www.facebook.com/rovithaki/) . The studio itself is spacious and airy and perfect for escaping the heat and having a calm retreat as you explore the city. The bathroom is particularly lovely, sparkling clean with a great shower. Mary's welcome was second-to-none, as she picked us up from the airport (despite our late arrival) and created us a bespoke list of amazing restaurants to try (we're vegan/vegetarian). The only tip for guests I'd give is if you're a light sleeper - take earplugs - the Cretans seem love a modified car with a LOUD engine. Mary - thank you for everything, and if you're back in Surrey let us know! xxx
