This is a great apartment accessible via 2 flights of stairs. Newly remodeled. Very clean. The bed was comfortable and firm. The fold-down couch in the living room was firm and would make a good bed for 1 person. The kitchen space was convenient. The bathroom was typical for Greece with all new fixtures. The apartment is very secure. The small balcony lent itself to enjoying the view of the area from above. The new windows blocked almost all sound from the busy square.
The area is perfect for tourists with everything in walking distance. There are many restaurants worth visiting. The shops in the area are upscale, many are recognized name brands. There are also gift shops with gracious employees willing to do everything to meet your needs. There is a grocery store in walking distance. You can use public transit to get to and from the airport. The main bus station is a 15 minute walk downhill to take you to other historic sites.
If you are coming to Heraklion, we recommend this apartment.
