This apartment is exactly as it is depicted in the pictures on VRBO. It was perfectly clean and tastefully decorated. What you don’t see is even better. It is in the center of the city, above a boutique, but located in a pedestrian only street - no cars allowed- so it’s safe for walking even at night. The apartment had everything we needed.
At the end of the street - just walk out the door and turn right, and you’ll end up in the famous Lion’s Fountain Square. There you will find plenty of food restaurants and cafes. There is also a beautiful,old castle.
Most nights there are live music performers.
The host, Eirini, is most gracious and helpful. We reached out to her with some queries even before our trip and she responded to us immediately. She also had recommendations on where to eat or how to get to places like the Knossos Palace.
We had an early flight leaving Heraklion and she arranged for taxi service that picked us up promptly on time at 6:30am.
We had a car for the first few days and there was no problem with parking. There was a parking garage (underground) a very short walk from the apartment.
We highly recommend staying here.
