Wow! Just wow! What is there not to like about this apartment? Travelling with two children we found this apartment just perfect. There were toys which the children loved to play with & an enclosed patio area which meant you were never worried about their safety. When we arrived they had written a welcome message on the chalk board in the baby room for my 2 boys. They thought it was fab. Anyway, bottom line - the kids loved it, I had to prise them away from the toys.
So as the adults we also loved it. It’s a wonderful use of space with lovely design features. Its well kept & you are very well looked after. The kitchen is well equipped and it’s very clean. There is a wonderful little booklet all about the apartment & recommendations, which was ever so useful. There is a greengrocers, supermarket & butchers all just across the road. Downstairs there is the most wonderful bakery, I got a lot of goodies here.
The apartment is about 15min (by car) from Iraklio, 10mins (by car) to Knossos and 10mins to the nearest sandy beach. Some may find the distance to Iraklio a bit annoying but it is so nice to stay in a local neighbourhood & be part of the local scene.
I wish we could have stayed for longer & when we go back to Iraklio this will be the place I will look up to stay in. I would recommend it without hesitation and would say this is the best Airbnb place I have ever stayed in. Just book it.
