This apartment is in a very good position in the city for access on foot to the beaches, cafes, bars, museums and shopping streets. It's clean, spacious and well equipped. We found the beds comfortable and we loved sitting out on the front balcony, drinking coffee, snacking lunch and people-watching. The hosts provided all the linen and towels we could have wanted and those little touches like a big tray, table mats and chopping boards which are often not provided in holiday lets. Having said that, we ate out a lot and can recommend several places. (You can look up our reviews on TripAdvisor where we are 'Moonbeams' but a special mention here for Taverna Knossos on the old harbour.)
We kept a hire car (from one of the international brands) for the whole 10 days we were there but wished we'd known that local company Greenways do a 'split rental' where for example you book and pay for a number of days but can leave the car with them on days you don't need it, which saves rental cost and parking fees.
Another tip. If you park at the Marina, use the parking zone immediately to the right (East) of the central walkway, through the barrier. The parking on the West side closer to the main road (where you pay the person in the hut) is twice the price for 48 hours even though the charges on the signs appear the same!
Be aware that the roof terrace of the apartment has only a low parapet wall around it and you absolutely would not let children up there, in our opinion. It's nice to go up to see the sunsets but not safe to use otherwise, even for adults.
To be honest, there was more noise from the street outside than we expected, even very late at night. But really, it’s just people walking home from a night out and their voices echo between the buildings. It’s quieter if you sleep at the back.
Apart from that, we loved the apartment and the owners were very helpful and friendly.
