I highly recommend this townhouse.
It was a great base from which to explore Heraklion and Crete. It's a great mix of traditional architecture updated very cleverly to be a modern, stylish home with a good amount of space. (So many airbnb apartments have cramped bathrooms, etc.) Feels very safe.
The location is excellent inside the walled, historic city. Free parking was a block away in a city lot. There are two small grocery stores a block away which was very convenient.
Manos is a wonderful host, warm and efficient. He picked me up at the airport and gave me lots of really good advice on how to make the most of Heraklion and Crete. Then, he dropped me off at the ferry early in the morning. I had planned to stay four days but extended it for two more days because I was so comfortable there.
The fully provisioned kitchen allowed me to prepare meals when I wanted.
I loved the unique bedroom upstairs adjacent to the large rooftop deck, accessed via a spiral staircase. Having a clothes washing machine was a great help, too.
The couch downstairs was good for a nap (or for another person to sleep) and the upstairs bedroom bed and pillows were very comfortable.
I got a lot of use from the amplifier and very good speakers hooked to the earphone jack on my iPad for hours of music.
Manos is a good chap and the apartment was what I hoped it would be. Thanks, Manos!
