This is a sunny and convenient spot, literally minutes from the sea, yet right in the heart of a busy, but pedestrianised so quiet, central part of town. 10 mins on foot to the bus station, 5 mins to the food markets (fantastic fish!) , and so many cafes and bars, including one right downstairs selling Cretan draft beer for €4 per pint. The archeological museum is literally 5 minutes walk from the flat and stuffed with astounding Minoan, Ancient, Hellenistic and Roman artefacts: entrance is the price of a pint. The balcony looks out onto an Orthodox Church whose bells (actually amplified recordings from the roof) were loud but brief: we were there in Holy Week so they're probably usually less in evidence. The sun shines in off the balcony all afternoon: it’s a beautiful as well as a relaxing space in which to chill. Very highly recommended, especially for the price!
