Maria is a very kind and thoughtful host. Very attentive to all our needs (brought me a foam mattress for the hide a bed when I asked) and nice little thoughtful touches like cake, and a few things in the fridge.
We were three adults in the apartment which was two much. It is perfect for two. You have the use of a sitting area in the back and the washing machine. The bathroom is small and is in the main bedroom but plenty of hot water. The neighbours in the building are very friendly.
It’s a half hour walk into the main area of Heraklion but a bus is close by and taxis vary between 3 and 5 euro each way.
I would recommend Maria’s for sure (for a couple). Its a great little place to call home in Heraklion for a short stay
