The Stylish apt. is located as stated near a sandy beach and has a huge patio overlooking the entire ocean. The nearby busy street is not too loud, a close bus stop takes you to the airport, Herakilum and Nickolosi. Also close is a big supermarket and many diners. The kitchen works great and has lots of equipment. As far as location I would say it is one of the best on the whole Island. Very good service. Only minor problem the living room sofa is a sofabed that is not too comfortable. There is a modern tv so bring your dvd player or hookups because all tv cahnnels are greek and show very limited English language. The internet worked fine. Bring your own books/ magazines because all are in Greek.
I would definatly recommend this apt.
Unfortunatly after 8 trips to Greece, all in all I do not like Crete/Greece much (compared to Spain, Italy or Portugal. The Greeks are nice but the arcitechture is depressing and no one seems to care. The food and most everything is overpriced due to their inept govt.- This has nothing to do with the apt of course which is a good price and stylish interior architecture as stated.
