The apartment was just as advertised. Bright and spacious. The rooftop terrace was something truly special and a real gem that one cannot often find on Airbnb. The view from the terrace to the sea was breathtaking. We never met Georgios, but rather his son, Emmanouil, who was an excellent host from the moment of check in till the tome we sadly had to depart. One can see that he is a true superhost. On the night of our arrival he had left us some groceries in the fridge, including a bottle of frozen raki 😇. As for the location, it was perfect both for a lazy day on the Ammoudara beach as well as for exploring Heraklion, which was 15 minutes drive away. The main street in the for shopping was ok as well, where you can buy some basic stuff like souvenirs and groceries. The closest Lidl as well as Sklavenitis supermarket (much better than Lidl by the way) were both 8 minutes drive away in the direction towards Heraklion. We happened to stay at the apartment during one of the worst heat waves with daily temperatures reaching 45 degrees and not cooling off lower than 30 degrees during the nights, therefore we sometimes struggled a bit to get both of the bedrooms to cool off, but I guess that comes with the charm of hot Crete summers. By all means, if we ever return to the area, this apartment would be on top of our wishlist.
