We liked a lot our stay at Maria's place! The apartment is located in central Heraklion, and it's on the ground floor level located on a small side street. It is compact yet very well equipped, and with a personal design. Since the apartment is located in the central area, there was some traffic noise that could have been heard to the apartment. However, it didn't disturb us and we slept very well. Nice bakeries, shops etc. around the corner and very nice restaurants within short walking distance. Maria was very communicative during our stay and had left us a nice welcome gift (raki and sweets)! Thank you Maria!
