Alec was fantastic - easy to communicate with and went out of his way to help us with suggestions of what to do and where to eat and made our late departure a real blessing - we can’t thank him enough for his assistance. Would definitely recommend - location and apartment superb

Center of the old city
We only stayed a couple nights at this location--it was clean and perfect for what we wanted. Located right in the heart of the old city, it was close to the attractions we wanted to see, close the the airport and surrounded by great restaurants.Our host gave great suggestions re: where to park, where to eat and what to do while in town. Due to city water restrictions, he paid for a water truck to deliver water to the building to ensure that we would have an adequate supply throughout our visit--so appreciated!Many thanks again for making our stay a memorable one!

Nice spacious apartment in central location
Booked for me and my partner as well as my parents who are in their 80s. The layout meant that we could be in one side of the apartment with our own bathroom and my parents at the other with theirs, so we weren't in each others pockets. Alex was a great host, helpful and available without being overbearing. He even helped break the padlock on my mum's case when we arrived as she had forgotten the key, thanks again Alex! The apartment was large, clean, well maintained and had all the necessary amenities. It was cleaned, with new towels and bedding part way through our 13 night stay. With my parents not being overly mobile, having a lift was imperative and made the apartment accessible for them, something which doesn't get mentioned enough. The only slight difficulty was the one step to get to the main door from the street, but although possibly not one for wheelchairs, people with modest mobility issues will manage perfectly. Location wise, you can be pretty much anywhere within 5 or 10 minutes walk, although there's plenty of bars, restaurants, museums etc and a supermarket just around the corner (the cafe directly under the apartments is very good too). The bus station is about 10 minutes walk and there are taxi ranks about 5 minutes walk away. We found the apartment to be a great base to explore the area and will certainly be back on our next trip to Heraklion.

Two weeks in Heraclion
To start with practicalities - this apartment is on the edge of the pedestrian zone of the old city. Which makes it ideal for exploring and everything is within walking distance. Walking around the old city is one of the best activities. Also useful for taxi pickup/dropoff. The apartment is spacious and we found the wraparound balcony to be one of the best features. I do not think it is possible to find less than excellent food whether at highly reviewed restaurants or from small grocery stores for having when eating in. Alex, the host, was invariably kind and generous with his time for recommendations or information both before and during our stay. Catherine

Heraklion stay
Unfortunately, we only stayed in Heraklion for one night. The apartment, though, was wonderful! It was very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located — walking distance to all the sites; walking distance to busses, the ferry terminal. Alexandros was an excellent host — very helpful and accommodating!

Séjour tès apprécié, hélas écourté d'1 journée (vol reporté)
Appartement lumineux et confortable très bien situé dans le centre ville d'Héraklion, ce qui permet de découvrir la ville et ses principaux lieux culturels à pied. Un parking payant en bord de mer permet de garer la voiture à proximité. Ce serait IMPORTANT d'afficher le numéro de l'entrée de l'immeuble (13) pour faciliter l'arrivée car le téléphone ne fonctionne pas toujours bien et l'écriture grecque n'est pas évidente à déchiffrer au premier abord.

Spacious apartment, great location
Spacious apartment convenient to pedestrian walkway, port, fort and many other sites. Plenty of room for our family of 4. Alex greeted us at the door when we arrived and gave us several suggestions for local sites and restaurants. There is no onsite parking but there is a paid parking garage within walking distance. We did have a few issues while we were there. The a/c was not working in one of the bedrooms. Alex was quick to respond to our text and attempted to have it fixed but ultimately we did not have a/c in that bedroom for our visit. We also had an issue with water backing up from the drain when we did a load of laundry. Not sure what the cause was but it was a bit of a mess to clean up! Other than these minor issues, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this apartment!

soggiorno da favola
Non è la prima volta che trovo una sistemazione tramite HomeAway e anche questa volta posso dire di essere stato pienamente soddisfatto. L'appartamento era rispondente a quanto descritto, grande, spazioso, arradeto benissimo ed in pieno centro di Heraklion.Il propietario, Alexandros, gentilissimo e sempre disponibile a soddisfare le nostre richieste.Tutto è stato rispondente a quanto descritto nell'inserzione. HomeAway è il numero uno dei siti per case vacanza.Bravissimi. We stayed in this apartment in the center of Heraklion from August 3rd to August 12th. Everything was responding to the announcement. The stay in Heraklion was amazing. Alexandros apartment is really nice, modern, very well furnished and right in the city center. Alexandros, the owner is a very kind and extremely available person. He always satisfied our requests and gave us excellent tips for the holiday. The apartment is equipped with all comforts, the kitchen is beautiful and equipped with all kinds of furnishings.Bravo and thanks to Alexandros.

Outstanding!
First, Alex is the most hospitable and helpful of hosts. His greeting us with friendship and valuable info re: the Apt. and the local scene was outstanding. Then: We loved Crete. The warmth and kindness of the Cretins was amazing. Use the local Hop and Ride to get your bearings and then the opportunities to see and learn are countless. The food is sensational. With Alex's help we arranged a car and took a day trip to Aki Nilolai. I highly recommend it. All in all a rental that exceeded it's advertising.
