John is an extremely welcoming host! His apartment is in a great location in downtown Heraklion. Accommodations are very clean and the cabinets stocked with basic breakfast and snacks. He and his father work downstairs at the bike shop so he was available in person during the day for questions/recommendations and also on Airbnb messenger so communication was easy.
It is also close to our favorite restaurant in town, Avli. Ask John about it when you arrive; it was his recommendation!
