Staying at Aris' place was delightful!
He welcomed me in person and offered a lovely restaurant recommendation, the flat was very clean, spacious and tastefully decorated, there is a comfortable balcony where one can sit and enjoy the residential neighbourhood vibe, while the double-glazed windows allow for absolute peace and quiet, when desired. A few thoughtful touches (fruit in the fridge, free toiletries) were most welcome. The flat is situated on a quiet street at walking distance from the city centre and bus station, and just minutes walk from a supermarket.
Thank you so very much for the excellent hosting, I'd happily stay there again on my next visit to Heraklion!
