My girlfriend and I just returned from this wonderful apartment and we have to say it was great.
The apartment itself is beautiful and you got everything you need for your stay. You even have your own balcony where you can enjoy your meals or can do everything else you want, because you're in complete privacy.
The host were super nice and helped with everything they could help with. They provided us with tips what we should do during our stay and were very welcoming.
The beach was like a ten minutes walk away from the apartment and you could also walk to many supermarkets and restaurants easily. If you want to go to the center of heraklion you can take the bus. the busstop is also pretty close to the apartment.
Overall it was a fantastic vacation we spend there and we were happy that we chose this apartment.
