Stavros's place is in a great location, just outside of the center of town. This means that you're just a 10 minute walk to central spots like the Archaeological museum but if you happen to have a car (as we did) you can probably still find parking. The inside of the apartment is just as nice as it looks in the pictures and Stavros added a bunch of lovely welcome gifts for our stay.
This brings me to Stavros who may be the nicest host I've ever had in all my stays on Airbnb. It's a shame my wife and I had only stayed for 1 day as he had given us a number of amazing recommendations within Heraklion. But beyond that, it is currently 1 week after we checked out and Stavros has continued to help me plan the rest of my trip, helping me pick which villages to visit and which activities to do around eastern Crete. This has been invaluable since I'm traveling in mid-November a time that all the guide books and travel articles ignore. Without a local friend, it is almost impossible to figure out what is open and still in operation during the winter.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat and if Stavros had a new listing, I would book it without even looking at the pictures.
