Truly a hidden gem in the city of Heraklion!
The apartment is spacious and tastefully appointed, with comfortable furniture to hang out on; large windows overlooking both the harbor and the cute local neighborhood; and very comfortable, clean beds. It's sparkling clean, making it obvious that the people responsible for taking care of it take pride in doing so. There are two patios here: a large veranda that wraps around the living room, and a smaller one off the bedroom that overlooks the harbor; these features make it easy to soak in the mild Cretan weather at night with a nice glass of wine.
The location of the apartment is excellent, if you like tranquility. It's maybe a 10 minute walk to the edge of the city harbor; 8 minutes from the central bus station; and 10-15 to the harbor. Additionally, there is an excellent local taverna a minute's walk down the road, and a grocery store three minutes away. In short, it's the perfect place to chill in Heraklion.
Simos is an excellent host. He is easy to communicate with, and his staff do an excellent job of keeping the place in order. He answered all of my questions quickly, and made sure to follow up to wit me to make sure our needs were met.
