This apartment was the ideal base camp for my combined business/holiday visit to Heraklion. Maria and her relatives did everything to give me a warm welcome and provide all information required for a comfortable and efficient stay. Transportation, things to do... it was all covered in the provided documentation, sent per e-mail beforehand.

The neighbourhood is a residential area, very close to the beach. Cretan people love dogs (or so it seems), so the barking from the houses across the street kept me awake the first night, but it's something one easily gets used to.
A place for car/scooter rental is nearby, which was very convenient for my daily trip to the university campus. In addition to that, the bus stop for the bus to the centre and the airport is just around the corner.
