Athina is a lovely host. Prompt replies prior to booking/arrival and enquired about parking for us.

Despite being 1 hour late from car rental, Athina and her husband waited for us with no quibble and helped us with free parking outside the property. Though there is no dedicated free parking, we manage to park for free on the same street for the 4 nights.

The location is very good- walking distances to all the tourist attractions in Heraklion.

The property is modern decoration (seems recently refurbished) and 100% as per the photo and description. In addition, we were treated with Raki (Cretan spirit) and little cakes (from Orthodox Easter). The property is also well stocked with table water, coffee, milk, sugar, butter, jam, etc.

There's even 2 toilets, which is handy

The only quibble is with the shower in that on the last night, there was no hot water for shower: Presumably after a cloudy day the solar panel could not heat up the water enough, and the backup boiler couldn't make any hot water despite 40mins wait.
