No avisaron hasta el mismo día de la reserva que la zona estaba toda en obras, sin acceso en coche y difícil de llegar andando.

Apartamentul foarte frumos și curat la sosire, dotat cu lucrurile necesare. Este într-o zonă liniștită, aproape de faleză dar și de centrul orașului iar prețul a fost mai mult decât decent.

În zonă se făceau lucrări la căile de acces (evident că nu e vina proprietarului și că ele se vor finaliza în curând adăugând plusvaloare zonei) rezultând mult praf și uneori gălăgie. Singurul minus al locației, combinat cu lucrările amintite a fost că lipseau ustensile de curățenie. Ar fi foarte utile un mop și un aspirator de mici dimensiuni.

The apartment is clean and tidy. Located in the city centre close to the shops and cafes, the coastline is almost in front of the building. The housekeeper is very friendly and helpful. We were allowed to leave our luggage inside before the check-in, and also after the check-out (not to carry it around until the flight). Recommend!

Too much decor, even though it makes the place very cosy )))

"Stylish and cozy apartment in the heart of Heraklion"

9.0

I stayed in this apartment for two nights and was genuinely impressed by the experience. The space is modern, comfortable, and tastefully decorated in a sleek palette of black, white, and gold. It feels more like a thoughtfully curated home than a typical short-term rental. One of the standout aspects was the attention to detail. The apartment was equipped with items you rarely find in rental properties — an electric coffee machine, a mixer, even a waffle maker. It’s clear that the host genuinely cares about the comfort of her guests. There was coffee, separate cappuccino pods, and other thoughtful touches that made a real difference. There’s a small private patio with a table — while it doesn’t offer a view, it’s still a lovely spot to enjoy breakfast or a quiet meal. The bed is large and very comfortable, and the flat-screen TV is generously sized. Overall, the apartment left me with a warm and positive impression. It’s a place that feels cared for — and, in turn, makes you feel cared for as a guest.

The host was kind enough to inform me in advance that there were ongoing construction works outside. I appreciated the heads-up — though I didn’t quite imagine the scale. Essentially, the surrounding few blocks are completely dug up, making the area feel more like a construction site than a neighborhood. I genuinely hope that by the time you check in, the works will be completed. As it stands, the environment leaves a less-than-ideal first impression. The roads are covered in red clay, which clings stubbornly to shoes. I found myself constantly worried about tracking those reddish marks onto the apartment’s pristine white floor — especially since I always treat even a rental space as if it were my own home. In the end, I chose to reframe the experience: I imagined I was staying in a stylish apartment set amid archaeological excavations — which, in a way, fits beautifully into the Greek aesthetic. In fact, just around the corner, I stumbled upon the exposed facade of what seemed to be a medieval structure. To be clear, none of this is the host’s fault. Still, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this lovely apartment — this entire petite house, really — had somehow been airlifted from a luxury district and gently placed in the middle of an unusually chaotic quarter.

We liked the apartment and it was a great location in a quiet street just a short walk from the square with the lion's fountain with lots of shops and restaurants. We asked if we could leave our bags for the day after we checked out as our flight wasn't until the evening and this was not a problem.

It was a bit blingy for my taste but the girls I was with loved it! All the decor is white, black and gold with fake marble floors throughout including the entrance stairs. The electric blinds were cool and you can look up and down the old street from the balcony.
