Great Location!

Super location and view. We stayed in a couple of afternoons and just watched the sea. Kitchen had what we needed. Functional layout. We did not use the kitchen to cook as eating out was so great! The host recommendations are good. Mostly quiet. The shops below us did have folks that smoked, but that is Greece. Seems like everyone smokes. We rented a car to go to Chania for a night. The car rental was just below the flat. Super easy and nice folks. Overall, a good choice for a couple and children. Too small for six adults unless you are close—LOL. Bathroom is very small.

Crete 2024

Property was well situated, clean and roomy. Owner answered our questions and helped find us to bring in luggage as it was hard to find parking in front to unload suitcases. Parking was 3 Euro paid at a lot which was a 10 minute walk which we knew before renting and also lacking in-suite laundry are the only downsides.

Perfect Location & Immaculately Clean!

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The location couldn’t have been better—right next to the port and at the very start of the city, making it easy to explore everything on foot. It was incredibly convenient to be so close to both the water and the heart of the city, allowing us to enjoy both the local attractions and some beautiful seaside walks. The property itself was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Access was straightforward, and the check-in process was a breeze. We truly appreciated how clean and comfortable everything was, making our stay relaxing from start to finish. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient and clean home base for their trip!

View to die for

Glorious property. The kind of place you want to leisurely respond to e-mails. Very organized and easy to keep cool. Discovery walks are enchanting. Make sure you know where the parking area is. It’s before the roundabout on the right and a ticket may be given to you if you park anywhere else.

We had a great stay in this pretty apartment In Heraklion. The location is fantastic near everything you need and want to see, and comes with a beautiful water view. All of our communication with Alex and his team was perfect. He even asked someone to come down and help us with our bags when we arrived! We would rent this place again with no reservations.

Wonderful place in Hereklion Crete

This place is amazing. First of all Alex and George made the check in process very easy. Our cab driver did not believe that we were staying in that area. He insisted that we were wrong. George met us there and explained everything that we needed for the apartment. The location could not have been better. The apartment is absolutely beautiful. Wry clean and safe. The views are amazing to say the least. It’s far better than staying in a hotel. The center of town is right behind the apartment with fantastic restaurants and historic buildings. There is also restaurants that are on the shore line with great views of the water and sunsets. Thank you Alex and George for allowing us to stay at your beautiful place

Best view in all of Heraklion

What a great place for a Heraklion vacation. The view of the harbor and fort were stunning, just like the pictures. The location was absolutely perfect, right on the edge of the city center with more tavernas, shops, and restaurants than you can count. Right below in the same building was a car rental place. Alex and George were great hosts and very attentive to their guest's needs. Highly recommend!

Amazing and Perfect

This place is the best! The apartment is even better than described. The location of the building is convenient to everything. Spotlessly clean, the inside of the apartment is welcoming and comfortable. The views are simply breathtaking. Alex, the property manager, was very helpful, attentive, and prompt. We had one tiny issue with streaming internet. When we reached out for help, he had someone there to fix it within minutes and even followed up the next day to make sure all was well. He could not have done more! If I could leave this location 10 stars, I would.

Unbeatable location, great amenities

We had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The location was central to shopping, dining and excursions. If there’s a downside to the location, it’s that it is right at probably the busiest roundabout in town, with its attendant noise. There’s also the constant sound from the planes flying over the bay. But the sun shutters help mitigate the noise a bit. Overall, excellent VRBO.

Great stay in Heraklion

This was a lovely, modern, well furnished apartment overlooking the harbor. The view was spectacular, particularly at night. The traffic was a little noisy but if you closed the doors and turned on the AC at night you didn't notice it. The apartment had everything you needed and Alex was very helpful, letting me know about the local attractions. He was also very accommodating about my stay which all in all led to a very pleasant experience in Heraklion.
