I had a great time in Heraklion and staying at Emmanouil’s Airbnb! The apartment was nicely decorated, modern, and clean and the location was nice and residential and right near the beach, but just a few minutes to the main road with lots of shops and restaurants. There are also some nice beach restaurants close by. The bus stop also is very nearby, which was very convenient to get into Heraklion city center. I had some trouble figuring out the buses, so if you are taking buses, don’t hesitate, just ask Emmanouil for information! He was super helpful and very easy to communicate with in general. You could tell he really wants to ensure his guests enjoy their time and would help if anything came up or I had any questions, and I really appreciated this!
