If you are looking to stay in Heraklion then you should stay here. The apartment was clean, comfortable, fully equipped and well situated for all local attractions and amenities while still being a quiet escape from the city. And as if this isn’t enough Nikos is one of the best Air bnb hosts I’ve ever stayed with, I was greeted with Cretan pastries and any question or query I had Nikos was on hand to help. It can be daunting travelling by yourself but I felt so safe and comfortable in Nikos’ apartment honestly I can’t recommend enough.
