Maria's place is comfortable, cozy, equiped with everything you may need and full with little touches of a thoughtful hostess that makes you feel a really welcomed guest. It offers privacy and space to relax, to have a coffee or meal on a large terrace, full of light and air. The neighborhood is peacefull and green, with big supermarket and other shops nearby. Despite the hot weather we didn't have to use the air conditioning as the location had great air flows. We were tired and took a taxi to reach the city centre for about 5-6 min, costing around 4 euro. Parking wasn't a problem and Maria's recommendations helped us a lot to plan better our stay in Heraklion. You will like it, I promise :-)
