I spent a very pleasant 4 weeks in the modern, stylish & well furnished quiet 2nd floor apartment (with locked entry & lift) located 100 meters from the center of Crete’s main city Heraklion (near Morosini Lions Fountain) 200 meters from the sea shore walk & harbor fortress. Dozens of cafes & shops are within 100 – 300 meters. Several fully stocked markets are near if you chose to prepare meals in the full modern kitchen with dishes / pans / coffee maker / tea pot / toaster. The WiFi was private & strong & the TV had Netflix. A balcony of the bedroom was a great place for morning coffee & evening wine & snacks. The furniture & linens upscale. The museums are incredible & near. The tour bus day excursions travel the full island of beaches, mythology & 4000 years of history. (Zeus to Parasailing)
The host was very personable, professional & helpful and promptly available by phone or text.
