We stayed at Eirini’s house for 4 nights at the end of May 2019, and we really recommend this Airbnb to anyone wanting to stay in Iraklio!

We arrived in Iraklio by bus, and the hosts made it completely stress-free by coming to pick us up from the bus station and driving us over to the house. They leave plenty of supplies you might want for cooking (or having some raki on the balcony!) as well as a notebook where they’ve written recommendations of places to eat and which days to visit the markets, etc.

The apartment itself is really modern and well-decorated. In particular the dining table/balcony area is huge with expansive views over the whole city and port area – definitely worth staying here just for that! There’s a few comments mentioning how comfortable the bed in this apartment is, and they’re definitely not wrong (although there were 4 of us so only 2 people had the luxury of that!). The bathroom is huge, and there’s even a small second balcony on the opposite side of the apartment.

The entire central area of the city is pedestrianized, so the house is on a very quiet street despite being about 100 yards away from Morosini fountain. There is a supermarket a couple of minutes walk away, through a nice park, and more bakeries/cafes/restaurants within a short radius than you could ever possibly go to – so don’t be concerned about having to walk a long way to get food.

In particular, on the last day of our stay our flight wasn’t until late in the evening, but Eirini was happy for us to stay as long as we needed due to there not being an immediate booking the next night – this made our last day in Iraklio much easier, and even allowed us to get one more wonderful view of the sunset before we left to go home. In all, the hosts were accommodating and really helpful with arrival and departure, the apartment is a great space with enviable access to all of the central areas in Iraklio, and we would definitely stay here again!
