We had an amazing stay at this 2nd floor apartment. Arranged with great taste and care, spacious, and clean - we were able to get good sleep after an international flight and relax. The owner is very responsive and caring, the pre-arranged instructions were clear and detailed, with photos to guide every step (getting the keys, parking the car in the building, etc). The host even left cold bottled water for us in the fridge. Close proximity to a children’s playground and good restaurants was key. We also enjoyed walking to the downtown Heraklion and felt safe coming back after dark. The area is very densely urban, with narrow busy streets, and this apartment provides a needed refuge from the hustle and bustle outside.
