Me and my family stayed at Dimitris's apartment in Iraklio for 2 nights. Communication with Dimitris was easy. He left us a small breakfast, water and Raki as a welcome gift, which was really nice. The apartment is just outside the old city walls and city centre is 20 minutes walk. If you are a couple, I would highly recommend the place. with a toddler on toe it was a bit difficult for us to walk all the way to the centre everyday twice in the scorching summer heat.
