The apartment was very comfortable and convenient to both the old town, the new and the bus station. The nearby swimming beach isn't the nicest in Crete, but it was great for being in the middle of a city. The restaurants near the beach were great for less touristy dinning than in the old town. Dimitris was very helpful with recommendations. Parking is doable, but tight in this area. Dimitris was very helpful and accommodating with the parking.
