Spectacular penthouse apartment
We had a fabulous time in this apartment and it made our trip to Heraklion extra special. The view and patio were stunning and allowed you to feel above the hustle and noise of the port. Apartment was very quiet, exceptionally clean and well appointed and near everything. We walked everywhere in town. Bill was wonderful to communicate with, met us right on time and offered many suggestions for restaurants and activities. He was lovely to work with. We would love to stay here again!

Great view from the balcony
Large, comfortable, modern, penthouse apartment, overlooking the old harbor of Heraklion. We each (4) had our own bedroom, with 2 sharing one bathroom. Very comfortable beds. Spectacular views of the old Venetian Fortress, guarding the harbor from the rooftop. Great fun sitting outside with our gin and tonics watching the ferries and cruise ships dock and depart. Good walking distance to tavernas, shopping, museums and ferries. Parking was a available for a small charge within 2 blocks. The house manager was very helpful in guiding us to parking during rush hour and helpful with all our luggage. In addition he recommended and made reservations for us at several wonderful tavernas. Kitchen was very well equipped and there was a washing machine in the unit. We would certainly stay there again in the future.

Crete!
We loved our stay in Crete! Stefanos was so helpful in helping us to make our vacation perfect by suggesting restaurants, activities and allowing us to check-in early. He greeted us upon our arrival with a smile and a kitchen stocked with drinks and items for breakfast. The kitchen had a slight ant/critter infestation and there was some broken furniture/rubbish around the property that took away from the overall appeal. We understood that the early check-in, so close to the previous tenants, may have contributed to this. Overall we loved our stay and would do it all over again. Enjoy Crete! PS- try the cooking class in Vamos village: it was something our entire family enjoyed! We also loved visiting Seitan Limania and Balos lagoon. Such beautiful scenery !

Upea paikka
Huoneisto oli mahtava sijainniltaan ja tiloiltaan tilava ja toimiva. Bill oli meitä vastassa lentokentältä saapuessamme, saattoi meidät huoneistoon ja kävi läpi kaikki tilat. Iso plussa tästä. Sisäänkäyntiä olisi ollut ehkä vaikea löytää omin päin. Jokaisella meistä oli oma makuuhuone (aika luksusta) ja kolme kylpyhuonetta takasi neljälle naiselle riittävästi laittautumistilaa. Terassi oli tosi iso ja sataman valot loistivat iltaisin. Kalustuksena oli iso pöytä ja tuolit, mutta kaipasimme ehkä vähän lisää kalusteita. Tilaa olisi ollut. Pienenä miinuksena kahvinkeittimen (suodatin-) puuttuminen, toki nespressokeitin löytyi. Kaiken kaikkiaan erittäin myönteinen kokemus ja voimme lämpimästi suositella.
