This is truly what I expect from an Airbnb apartment - a home away from home and a very special place on top of it all! We booked Melanie's place on the same day of our arrival and were lucky to be accommodated. Responses and detailed descriptions were super fast and the check-in was organised really quickly. After 8 days of cycling it was great we could use the washing machine. The streets in this part seem to be a bit labyrinthine but with Melanie's descriptions it was no problem at all to find the place and we were rewarded with a feeling of being part of Heraklion life. Melanie's friend Fotini added to this by giving useful tips for activities and introducing us to Greek cooking culture:-) I could continue with adoring the style and design of the place, but keeping it short and simple: If you are up for colours, arts and the little special things and bored of standard hotel rooms, you shouldn't miss this place!
