    Really nice place to stay in Heraklion

    Four flights of stairs to the apartment. When it is windy the roof terrace gets extremely blustery. Shower hose is hand held and would be easier if it was fixed to the wall. Would be handy if two sets of keys were provided.

    Small apartment but well laid out with all the facilities you would need. Comfy bed. View from roof terrace was amazing. Perfect location, only 5 minute walk to town. Handy little supermarket 1 minute away. Host was in touch to see if we needed anything and was quick to respond to messages. Really enjoyed out stay.

    The only negative part which the host cannot control is the church bells going off at 8 am in the morning.

    Location was great, walking distance to transportation , main shopping area and restaurants. Apartment was modern and clean. Host was gracious and very helpful.

    Nothing, absolutely great.

    The apartment was nicely decorated with AC in both rooms, spotless clean and in a perfect location for us. While being close to everything it was in a quiet location, just in the right distance from the center. Everything we needed was in the apartment and we enjoyed our short 2 nights stay there. Would surely come back.

    Using the shower made the whole bathroom wet due to the minimal screening. It dried really quickly so only a very slight issue.

    Location excellent. Quite central and next to a park with local music performances that set a really lovely atmosphere. Clean and modern with a boutique feel.

    The bathroom is a bit small, but fine if you stay for couple of days.

    Perfect location very close to the center, you can walk easily there! Is also ideal if you rent a car, there are a few parking areas near the property. The room was really nice, super cozy, clean and silent; we had the room on the 4th floor with the terrace. The view was amazing and perfect to spend some time to relax enjoying the sunset. We definitely come back!

    We had a great apartment on the ground floor.It would have been nice if the patio area was not glassed in, and maybe had a gate for easy access to the lounge area/beach.

    Location.Beachfront.Easy access to Old Town. Nice Cafe 2 mins walk from apartment.Great for breakfast ,Lunch and snacks.And morning coffee. Good to have a washing machine and the staff happily gave us complimentary washing tablets. After leaving the beach there are showers right at the lounge area to rinse off before heading to your room.

    Since there was a self check in I had to contact the host a few times but she was very responsive and everything worked out well. During our 3 night stay there was no cleaning so there could have been instructions on how to take out the trash. The bed was a bit narrow.

    The 4th floor apartment is very beautiful with stunning views to the mountains and the ocean. The apartment is newly renovated and I loved the details they put in such as room fragrance and decorations. There was a washing machine and a big plus was that they provided laundry detergent. There were a lot of other useful things such as kitchen towels, first aid kit, iron, etc. Also a big plus for the welcome wine bottle. The location was convenient, between the port and the city centre.

    The bathroom has a design flaw which has the water flowing outside the shower stall. What would have made this more fantastic is some instructions in English for the stove, the lights and washing machine which took me some time to figure out ( although the host was super prompt in her replies). We were on the 3 rd floor and although well informed about the elevator be prepared to climb up 3 floors which although arduous is achievable!

    Very plush towels and bed was super comfortable. The complimentary wine and snacks were much appreciated and enjoyed. Loved the hot shower and the host was very prompt in her responses. She kindly arranged transportation for me as well. There is a grocery store close by and just 8 mins from central Bus station which was important to me. Very nice hot shower and Kids loved the English TV options

    The shower could close better, everything else was amazing!

    I loved staying at Fontem Central Living! We stayed on the top floor and the view and terrace were amazing! The owners also left some complimentary wine upon arrival, we loved it. The communication was superb, and the place in the city was also very good, there was a bus stop right next to the apartment going to the airport and the beach of Amoudara, very convenient.

    Clean, safe, modern and cozy. Communication with the owner was easy. Nice location next to a small, peaceful agora. From our 2nd floor balcony we could follow everyday life of the locals, which we considered a big plus. There's a small church next to the apartments, so you can here brief ringing of the bells earliest around 7 am. Apartment is close to city center, port and major bus lines to airport, Knossos and beaches. We will definitely choose Fontem Central Living next time we visit Heraklion!

    Lovely balcony for food and drink. Very comfortable beds and nice shower. Loads of kitchen equipment plus a washing machine which was very handy. The location is great, town is only 5 minutes walk and bus stops are very close by, but there are also some lovely local restaurants in the immediate neighbourhood.
