Clean, cozy and well located. Couldn’t ask for more. You have free parking near the port about a 10 minute walk away.

Excellent location for downtown exploration.
Electronic check in was not pleasant.
Instractions for my check in were never received in my email.
The owner comunicated with me via whats up which I barely use and coincidentaly I had downloaded the app.
The units was very clean and nicely decorated. The pice was very good for its location.

We stayed here for our final night in Crete and it was just what we needed. 🏙️ The location is super convenient—right in the heart of the city and close to the port, making it perfect for travelers on the move.
The room was quite compact for three people, but it had everything we needed for a short stay. The property was very clean and well kept. Communication with the host was smooth; check-in instructions arrived right on time, which made things easy.
Just a heads-up for future guests: there's no on-site parking. You’ll need to look for free street parking (if you’re lucky to find one!) or use a nearby paid option which costs about €18 per night.
Overall, a practical and well-located spot for a quick city stopover.

You can't beat this property's location. Great night life and resturants right oustide. Our host was great. And there is a washing machine for laundry which is very convenient. My only complaint would be the shower head. It should be replaced because it seemed to shooting water all overvthe bathroom hitying the ceilings.

The rooms were clean. The location is excellent - right in the heart of Heraklion. Lots of shops and restaurants within short walking distances.
