Recently renovated, tastefully decorated, really bright and very spacious apartment, right in the heart of the city center, offering easy access to all places of interest and a sea-view. It's ideally located at one of the most sought-after pedestrian streets,30 meters from the sea-front, and less than 300 meters from the main square of the city, making it a great choice for those who wish to enjoy all aspects of Heraklion (nightlife, restaurants, museums, places of interest are all within walking distance) while coming home to a tranquil and relaxing environment. Part of a privately owned and very secure building (in a very secure area), the apartment has been designed to offer a comfortable home away from home. It's a non-smoking (smoking is allowed at outside spaces only) and environmentally friendly property (we have invested in solar panels and invite our guests to use the designated recycling bins in the property, as much as possible).
We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. Marina has been a fantastic host.
The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. We were so happy to also have use of a washing machine.
The apartment is a short walk to the very centre of the city which is full of wonderful restaurants, cafes and shopping, including markets.
I would recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Heraklion.
Our holiday didnât start out so well, as we got lost coming from the parking garage, but Marina walked us through the route in real time. A big help.
The apartment was clean and cheery. There were enough things in the kitchen if one didnât intend cooking lots of meals.
Unfortunately there were plumbing problems, which Marina moved quickly to rectify, but we eventually had to move to another apartment in the building, and were told weâd be refunded a nightâs rent. So, although changing flats was a bit of a bother, at least action was taken.
Two days before the end of our stay, other guests moved into the building, and then we didnât have hot water for showers the next 2 mornings. Marina has been told, so one can hope she moved with her usual efficiency to solve the problem.
The flat is very close to lots of restaurants and the sea, and not too far from a parking garage, if you have a car. Itâs a short walk from the Historical Museum, and about a 10 minute or so stroll from the Archeological Museum, so is very convenient.
Too short! To do again, we will start our stay here and then drive further to ouest of Crete instead of the opposite. Thanks for the gyros, wine and most of all great discussion.
The apartment was great for 3 of us! It was just a short walk to the central square for shopping and restaurants. It was about 8 minutes to the taxi stand when we wanted to go to Knossos.
