Niko and his family is very hospitable. The flat is great, for instance the bed is comfortable, the wifi good and it was very nice to sit outside in the balcony. An excellent place to stay for a few nights in Heraklion.

Helgi Iceland

Excellent host! Niko met us, gave us lots of great tips, and helped us with a taxi! The apartment is spotless and so very comfortable! We loved our breakfast baskets each morning! Apartment is also in a great location for exploring Crete!

Excellent apartment close to the airport (for those travelling with a car). Well equipped and a supermarket across the street. View of the mountains. Easy and friendly check in and out.

Yuval Israel

Clean, spacious, comfortable and furnished with all you need. Super nice and welcoming hosts, with water in the fridge and chocolates on the table. We had a great experience. Location is convenient too!

Tozelli New Zealand

Perfect location! Great apartment, very clean and comfortable. The owner was fantastic! He gave us many suggestions of what to do and where to go, but most of all he was very polite and comprehensive!

Maria Italy

Flexibility in the checkin and checkout - the host was OK with coming early and slight delay on leave. Communication via phone and via Whatss up - instructions were very clear. Place was very nice, the nearby store has been convenient. The AC was working pefectly and fan came in handy on hot days. The hosts mother was very kind and we really appreciate the welcome drink and snack.

Niko was a brilliant host! Room had a bottle wine and water waiting for me, which was great as I got in a bit late. I also managed to leave my straighteners behind and Niko kindly helped by sending them via courier to Santorin. Room was clean with a little balcony and was right opposite a large supermarket. Breakfast consisted of fruit and normally something like a croissant. Fridge an freezer was in the kitchen. Area was quiet, and although I got a bit confused with where the bus stops were it was actually only about 20 minute walk into town.

Natasha United Kingdom

Close to the port of Heraklion, clean, quite big, clean.

Frederic France

Niko was there to greet us and show us around. Gave great tips and a few extras like a bortrle of wine and chilled beers in the fridge. He was a gentleman in every way.
