Irene was an amazing host, she took care of every details. From checkin to post checkout, she ensured that we had everything taken care of.
Checkin: we asked for a photo of the building as well as a photo of the apartment to recognise it and she promptly provided it. We also asked about the distance from apartment from the port and airport, of which she provided screenshot of maps and even annotated accordingly. Her instructions were very clear and easy to follow.
During the stay; her apartment was well equipped, with a full functional kitchen, working wifi, clean toilets and a comfortable bed. The vibes from her apartment is so chill, and we even asked for her advice as to getting food delivery to her place. She recommended the efood app and provided the necessary links for us to access.
Post checkout: Irene also allowed us for a late checkout as we were going to wait for our overnight ferry timing, which enabled us to have ample time for shopping at the city centre and got dinner before checking out. She even went above and beyond by letting us store our luggages with her mum’s home by making the relevant arrangements with the cleaning lady as well as her mum. Irene also helped us called a cab as we did not have a Greece number and her mum even invited us in and provided some chocolates as we waited for the arrival of the taxi.
Overall, we really couldn’t have asked for a better host — accommodative, understanding, prompt in replying and giving us the best direction and guidance 😌 we really appreciated her promptness in replying and consideration suggestion and recommendations. Highly recommended to anyone coming to Heraklion — location is great, host is great, you’re guaranteed a comfy stay for sure!
