Maria's apartment is really cute and located just a couple of minutes walk from both 25th August St and the bus station from which you can get a bus to Knossos. That was really convenient. Maria also provided us with great food recommendations! The apartment itself was very clean and cosy, and the washing machine was particularly useful. We couldn't find a drying rack, which wasnt a problem as we had our own travel clothes line. There is a sea view from the balcony which is lovely as well. Just two things to note: (1) the double bed is a sofa bed on the firmer side (which is my preference so I was very comfortable); and (2) if you have accessibility issues, note that there's a set of narrow steep steps to climb to the apartment door. Overall we would def recommend Maria's apartment.
