Beautifully renovated and clean apartment in the center of the city. Easy access with code. Spacious shower and nice little terrace.

I stayed here for 7 days now, and 5 days in June. The number of amenities was not adapted to the duration of the stay: 1 large and 1 small towel per person, very little toilet paper. It would also be a plus to provide plastic bags for the garbage bin and the bin in the bathroom where toilet paper must be put in.

It looks exactly like the photos, the room was beautiful, big bed, nice shower, TV worked perfectly fine, air conditioning too, I enjoyed this stay a lot and especially it's right in the center and the bus stop right next to it, I had no problem.

The only thing I didn't like was the view I had but it depends what room you get

Very tidy and clean apartment with quality appliances and comfortable furniture. Checking in was easy (even though we were early) and so was checking out. The location is perfect; on the edge of the city centre, close to amenities, within 15 minutes walking distance of most of the city's attractions, and right by a bus stop from which lines run to the airport and Amoudara (beach).

It's not a fully equipped apartment so there are no kitchen appliances apart from a sandwich toaster, an espresso machine and a kettle (a microwave might be nice to have!) It's right by a somewhat busy street so it can get quite noisy.

Location was great...clean and comfortable.

On the 3rd day of my stay the door to my apartment malfunctioned and I was looked in ..I called them but their office was closed..I was stuck in the room for 2 and a half hours till I opened the window and called for help..and man on the street came up and punched in the code from the outside of the door and the door finally opened...later I contacted them and they changed the code and they fixed the problem

Great location Responsive owner Easy to find and check - clear instructions Comfortable bed Large apace Refrigerator, kettle, and coffee maker

The toilet paper issue can get annoying and the bathroom door always had to be closed because of the sewer smell. Nice large balcony but the street is pretty noisy (what is with cars with deafening music driving by all night?)

Location is excellent, close to many good restaurants, not far from the museum, just a short walk, close to sea wall walk. Clean Shower was good Good for a couple of nights

Only contact with staff was for the door login code via email, which isn't a problem but the code was only sent around 12pm on the day of check in meaning we had to go to a cafe for wifi to get the code. Better communication around checkin or sending the code earlier or checkin instructions earlier would make for a better experience. Close to very busy road, noisy during the day and late in the evening and early in the morning.

I liked the fact that it was exactly as advertised! The photographs corresponded to the actual appointment. The location was amazing, everything you needed was within walking distance. Also the amenities were extremely helpful. Real value for money!

It was a great apartment at a great location at the heart of Heraklio. Everything was clean. The mattress was comfortable. In addition this was the first apartment that provided a baby cot with a proper mattress for the baby. The checkin was straight forward.

Nothing really but since there is no cleaning service the could have provide few trash bags for the days of the stay

Very nice small apartment/room. Modern, elegant, really clean and in a great position. I contacted also customer service and they were really fast to respond my questions. You have everything you might need (restaurants,shops, bus station) just in front of the building. It's also 10minutes walk away from Heraklion Archeological Museum and 7 minutes walking distance from the bus taking to Knossos palace. It's a perfect place to stay when visiting Heraklion.
