The place is within walking distance to everything is about 20 -25 minutes walk from the port. You can walk to restaurants, all major attractions and shops. It was super clean. It has a washer machine, a sweet touch of fruits, olive oil, and Greek drink, on the table and a water in the fridge. The pictures don't do justice. I will recommend this place to anyone with or without kids.
Do not take the hop on hop off bus. If you plan to go to Knossos instead used the public bus only 1.70 euros each way. If you plan to go see the Archeology Museum first go to Knossos (15.00 euros) and buy the tickets there as you will only pay an extra euro =16.00 to get in both attractions. Rather than paying 15 in Knossos and 10 at the archeology museum.
