    Great location close to city centre. They have storage room for luggage, we had to use it both before check in and after we checked out, stuff very friendly. We got quiet room with windows facing between houses but was perfect to sleep with open window for fresh air. All new and clean. Parking just next to the hotel, for 2 eur we could park the car for 20 min to bring bags to the hotel. Easy to walk to ferry harbour. Recommend for short stopover

    The room was spacious. The shower was spacious as well and no problem with wet floor afterwards, which was quite often an issue on our trip on crete. The breakfast was very delicious and I am generally not a breakfast person! The eggs were devine. The breakfast area was a nice backyard. The hostess was very friendly and helful with transfer to airport. Only 2min walk to small alley with lots of restaurants. For being located directly in city center it was very quiet during the night. However, our window faced the inner courtyard.

    The apartment is very clean and functional for two people. Decorated very modern. It is in the great neighbourhood with shops, supermarket and bakery very near. Bus station is 2 min walk from the apartment and it takes you 10 min drive to the city centre or 15 min to the Ammoudara beach. They pass by every few min. Alexis was a great host! Helped us with some problems even when we left :) Gave us useful information and answered all our questions. Highly recommend this place!

    Very central location in a small side street, 1-2 min walk to main shopping/restaurants etc, 5 mins walk from Venetian harbour. There is a tiny restaurant cross the road, try it for authentic Greek food & hospitality, very cheap for a city centre location. Stayed in room 26 at the front of the hotel….. very quiet given location of room. Newly refurbished, our room was immaculate.

    The apartment was very clean, very spacious, very well equipped & with a great shower. It has a great location on a quiet street in the Old Town, but close to all the attractions and a supermarket. The host, Julia, was very hospitable and had great communication skills. I wholeheartedly recommend this apartment to others!

    Very secure with keyed entry off the street into the small complex. The apartment was quiet and comfortable with very effective air conditioning for the hot weather. We walked everywhere to all the tourist areas with ease from the great location. Our host was the best! Nothing was too much trouble, communication was excellent and we felt very welcome.
