The apartment is in a residential area on the outskirts of the town, very close to the airport and not too far from the ferry terminal. The owner lives above and is very friendly. The apartment is ground floor, a good size and well appointed with really good kitchen facilities and a tiny external yard at the back. The apartment opens straight onto the street but this didn't concern us as the area seemed very friendly - local older people sit on the pavement to chat in the evenings. The owner was very helpful in telling us how to walk to the ferry and to town. There are also lots of taxis and buses available at the end of the street. There are quite a few cafes in the street and a few restaurants nearby. Really good choice if you want to be close to the airport or ferry for transport, or nearer to Knossos and have time to walk into the main town for the evening.

Convenient if you want to be right near the airport. You can actually walk here if you like. The cabs will charge 15 euros to drive 1.5 minutes.

Wish there was something to shade the window on the front door. It lets in A LOT of light from the street outside.
