The apartment is perhaps a bit basic, but it had everything that was needed for me and my son to spend four days in the Heraklion area. It was a perfect and comfortable base for our excursions in the area. It is not located next to the sea, and to get to the beach you need to move by car. But it is located in the middle of a beautiful olive grove, and spend the late afternoon on the balcony reading a good book while sipping a fresh beer (offered by Pantelis), had its charm. Beds were very comfortable, and so the shower. Wi-fi signal could be better. We never cooked inside the appartment, so I can't say if the two cooking plates are confortable to use. Pantelis, the host, is a very nice person, kind and always available. We really had a nice staying.
