This was a really lovely place to stay for a few days in Crete! I visited on my own and enjoyed it immensely. With two balconies, you've got a gorgeous sunny spot to eat breakfast in the morning and enjoy the breeze—and ALSO an afternoon sunny place to bask in the balcony off the bedroom after lunch.
The bed is super, super comfortable as is the couch. The kitchen's got everything you need to cook a simple meal—AND two kinds of coffee makers. T
Bus connections are pretty easily had from this spot (download the Moovit app—it was indispensable for figuring out the Cretan transportation lines to get to the beach and to Knossos!) and it's a 20ish minute walk into the center of town. The walk is through a very residential neighborhood which can seem a little dark/unpopulated at night, and I hesitated at first, but I ended up feeling perfectly safe—it's just quiet there. There's also a little supermarket with everything you need (including awesome Cretan cucumbers) right around the corner on Komnion. It even seemed to be open on Sunday.
A couple of minus points: it can be loud. The first night I slept with the balcony doors open and for a light sleeper, there was way too much wild wind action and dog yips to get a good rest. But close the doors and put on the AC and you've basically got a cave, which is amazing.
I don't know what's up with the doors in this building, and I'd imagine/hope it's temporary, but the lock on the door to the building was very temperamental and I spent a while every time I came home trying to get the key to turn in the lock. Hopefully this will be fixed. The "deadbolt" feature on the apartment door also fell off in my hand when I arrived. I managed to partially put it back together. :Shrug:
Also, if you're a larger person (I'm an athletic 6 foot lady), the (pretty amazing) shower is not big. iI'll work, but if you're a larger person for whom comfort and swingin' room in the shower is essential, keep this in mind.
All in all: a comfortable, clean, really good stay and I would stay here again when I return to Heraklion. Thanks to Magdalena and Vasilis!
