Overall the flat is exactly as in the pictures. Katerina is very hospitable, leaving us drinks in the fridge and even a surprise gift. She was happy to answer questions, and did so very quickly too. Nothing seemed too much trouble.
Would have been good to have use of the pool as advertised - it was closed so there was no place to have the buffet meals mentioned either. However the tavern across the road, Petousis, were welcoming enough to let us use their pool when it was available and their food was good. This helped us still have the relaxing part of our trip. The shower and washing machine could be a bit more modern, as they don’t quite fit with the overall standard of the flat which is otherwise good value for money.
The beach and loungers were so close by, the food and drinks were good and the staff were lovely. It lived up to its name of Heaven, great way to spend an afternoon. The flat was a good exploring base to see more of Heraklion and other areas. It’s set in a typical tourist town which can be a bit pricey so you will need to travel a bit to get experiences more authentic than this.
