this place is a dream. to be honest, I don't LOVE the hectic vibe in Heraklion so this place was ideal. It was such a wonderful escape and allowed my visiting jet lagged family , including my 80 year old mom, to arrive after all kinds of travelling chaos, and to recover and to explore some wonderful museums and sites without having to get in a car...the terrace has a sea view and the artist touch makes the environment of the flat just... perfect. I believe anyone would feel lucky to stay here. we all have bad backs and the beds are good. Mel and Flotini are totally there for you online or in the flesh. its as great as looks in pictures and then some. if you like boring generic places it's for you because it is all of thoughtfully arranged visual experiences and colours and comfortable spots. we were so happy there it was kind of hard to go outside.
