We absolutely loved our stay here!! We booked for a month and wish it would have been longer. We were 2 adults and 3 kids (plus grandma came for the last few days) and there was plenty of space for us all. The views from the balcony were beautiful, the house was clean and even included some cleaning during our stay and the location is unbeatable! It was close enough to walk to Old Town for dinners (Delish was our favorite gyro restaurant and Funkys for pizza; we also enjoyed dinners and drinks at various locations on the water). It was also close to the city beach which was beautiful and has chairs to rent or empty stretches of beach to lay down your own mat/umbrella for free. There were umbrellas in the apartment to use. The kitchen is fully stocked if you want to cook. We primarily used the smoothie maker and pod espresso machine!
There is a local market on Thursday mornings just a couple of blocks up from the apartment that was lovely for local produce/cheese/honey. We had a rental car but only used it a couple of times/week for road trips (Elafonissi, Balos, etc). I think next time we won’t even rent a car for the entire time (we never struggled to find parking though if you have a car). There is also a regular grocery store and a kids’ playground within a couple of blocks. Honestly, this apartment is the best location possible with a great communicative owner and we are already making plans to come back to Crete in a couple of years and will definitely book this apartment again.
