We had an excellent stay in the Maria's apartment. It is very spacious and clean and best of all, it is very close (1 minute walk) to a calm/non touristic beach, which you can see from the balcony. The apartment is outside the center of Heraklion but it is well connected by bus.

Unfortunately we haven't met Maria in person as she wasn't on the island during our stay, but our contact by email and phone went very smooth. She sent us tips for our stay. When we arrived we found some ouzo and biscuits that Maria left behind as a welcoming gift.

We definitely recommend the apartment for a relaxing stay in Crete.
