Our family of five had a nice stay at Alex’s place. The location is ideal, the place is clean and modern, and Alex took extra care to ensure our trip was comfortable and simple. The window coverings and shutters are so good at blacking out the light and some of the road noise (busy traffic circle). Only issue was the large burner on the stove was not functional.

Best view in all of Heraklion

What a great place for a Heraklion vacation. The view of the harbor and fort were stunning, just like the pictures. The location was absolutely perfect, right on the edge of the city center with more tavernas, shops, and restaurants than you can count. Right below in the same building was a car rental place. Alex and George were great hosts and very attentive to their guest's needs. Highly recommend!

Great spot in Crete for our short visit. Beautiful apartment across from the sea. Comfy beds. Coffee already in unit! Easy check in and out. Location next to city center for restaurants and shopping. Taxi stand across the street for excursions. I would recommend this for a stay in Crete.

We had a great stay in this pretty apartment In Heraklion. The location is fantastic near everything you need and want to see, and comes with a beautiful water view. All of our communication with Alex and his team was perfect. He even asked someone to come down and help us with our bags when we arrived! We would rent this place again with no reservations.

Crete 2024

Property was well situated, clean and roomy. Owner answered our questions and helped find us to bring in luggage as it was hard to find parking in front to unload suitcases. Parking was 3 Euro paid at a lot which was a 10 minute walk which we knew before renting and also lacking in-suite laundry are the only downsides.

Perfect Location & Immaculately Clean!

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The location couldn’t have been better—right next to the port and at the very start of the city, making it easy to explore everything on foot. It was incredibly convenient to be so close to both the water and the heart of the city, allowing us to enjoy both the local attractions and some beautiful seaside walks. The property itself was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Access was straightforward, and the check-in process was a breeze. We truly appreciated how clean and comfortable everything was, making our stay relaxing from start to finish. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient and clean home base for their trip!

Glorious property. The kind of place you want to leisurely respond to e-mails. Very organized and easy to keep cool. Discovery walks are enchanting. Make sure you know where the parking area is. It’s before the roundabout on the right and a ticket may be given to you if you park anywhere else.

Beautifully appointed apartment in a good location facing the Venetian Castillo (great place to walk) and surrounded by good restaurants. Had a major issue finding the location, as the address given is for a pedestrian street and a multi business building. Archipelagos not anywhere on the building. Would recommend adding the name of the business the apartment is above, and give precise info on how to locate. The only other issue is that we never figured out how to get hot water, but I’m sure that’s on us! Alex, the host, was incredibly patient and very helpful one we connected. I would recommend this apt.

Amazing and Perfect

This place is the best! The apartment is even better than described. The location of the building is convenient to everything. Spotlessly clean, the inside of the apartment is welcoming and comfortable. The views are simply breathtaking. Alex, the property manager, was very helpful, attentive, and prompt. We had one tiny issue with streaming internet. When we reached out for help, he had someone there to fix it within minutes and even followed up the next day to make sure all was well. He could not have done more! If I could leave this location 10 stars, I would.
