"This property is closed for bookings. This is despite Expedia letting us book it for a stay in April as part of a package.

"Check in was easy, the apartment was a great space for our family for a short stopover. There weren’t very many amenities in the apartment aside from dishwashing supplies, so it is sparse in that sense. The location has was okay and parking and driving in Heraklion Centre was difficult to find and squeeze through narrow streets. There is no dedicated parking area for this property, so do some research in advance if you can."
