Maria is a wonderful host who warmly greeted us. The apartment is ideally located very near the museums, restaurants, and shops in the city center. It was a short walk (2-10 minutes) to most places we wanted to go. Bus stop to Knossos is also nearby. We did not have a car, but I think street parking in the neighborhood may not always be easy to find. The apartment is on a quieter street without too much traffic or many tourists going by. It is just like the description and very clean and comfortable. Bunks beds in one room would make it great for a family with a few kids. We would definitely stay at Maria's place again!
