We came to Heraklion on Friday afternoon and spent Saturday in the apartment. Our flight to Athens was at 8 am on Sunday morning. Thus, we wanted a place not far from the airport and close to the sea so that we could have a relaxing walk along the see during the day. Christos's apartment was an excellent choice, being located within a 12 min drive from the airport and practically on the sea shore. Christos met us exactly at the arranged time. We found a parking spot across the street, and he helped us to move our luggage to the house. The apartment is on the third floor. There is an elevator, which was quite helpful. Christos and his son were very nice, showed us around the apartment, helped to hook up to WiFi. They were very kind to arrange a taxi for us at 6 am and it came in time. It is a one bedroom apartment, charming, modern, smartly decorated in black, white and gray. Living room and open kitchen make a spacious, bright salon. Although the house is located in the urban area, we enjoyed a sea view from the balcony. There is a table with chairs there. The unfolding couch in the living room is probably suited for one person, not two. Because there were only two of us, we slept in the bedroom which also decorated with taste. It has a queen-size bed with a big blanket with a flat sheet. We would prefer a more comfortable mattress and a sunscreen or a sun blocking curtain on the window in front of the bed. We also had a problem watching a quite small TV (we hooked up our computer to it) from the couch. The kitchen includes a medium size fridge, electric kettle, and espresso machine, which we could not use. The kettle, refrigerator, and inside of kitchen cabinets needed a cleaning touch. The bathroom is large and clean, includes the washer. The water pressure in the shower was OK. On Friday night, the street and the house were noisy, but we were tired and fell asleep anyway. Overall the place has great location and charm and is good for a short stay.
