Maria's apartment was perfectly location to explore Heraklion with the town centre only 15 minutes easy walk away. She went above and beyond by meeting us at the door at midnight after we arrived with a late flight and had even made us a cake! The water pressure in the shower was great, the bed was comfortable and there was a great selection of rugs. I can definitely recommend Maria's place for anyone who wants to explore the city or wider Crete. Having a jetlagged cup of coffee on the balcony is a definite must for any long distance traveler:)
