The apartment is well situated in the centre of Heraklion & yet it is also on a quiet, residential street. Everything you need is within a 5 - 10 minute walk. Little corner shop opposite for water/snacks etc & supermarket just up the hill, lots of cafes, bars, restaurants all within 5 minute walk. Bus to the city beach (number 6 bus) is also 5 mins walk away.
The apartment is exactly as it looks on the advert - clean, neat, well equipped. The air con worked well when we needed it - which mostly at night. Bed was comfortable & there was ample storage in the room. The balcony was a nice bonus outside space - a good size and with a mix of seating. George was a fabulous host - he met us very late (22:30/23:00) & took us through the workings of the flat which helped a lot. He was also very helpful with contact via AirBnB messaging pre trip & during our trip.
We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment and will look to book again when we next visit Crete.
