This was a great stay. We really felt part of the local community. We had a beautiful time in Crete and would highly recommend.

5 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviewsBeautiful Villa with a Private Swimming Pool !
Everything was great, we felt very comfortable in the villa of Stylianos. We also had the opportunity to meet him in person. He always responded quickly to messages and gave great tips. A recommendation of our whole group is the restaurant Tsourlis. The best restaurant in the area with authentic cuisine, excellent service and mega reasonable prices.

We had a very nice stay at the accommodation. It was opposite a beach and near a swimming pool. They were very helpful by giving us useful information and some laundry detergent. Very nice premises in a convenient location for activities and ferries but a long way from the best beaches.

The photos do not reflect how beautiful this place is! Stella made so much effort for us, we got a fridge full of welcoming treats, wine and beers! They are by far the best hosts, we have ever had through Air BnB!!! They deserve 5stars! We would love to return in the future. Weather was great in October, sunny with plenty to do around the area! With fantastic beaches and the food of Greece so good! Amazing restaurants near you with beautiful people everywhere! We loved our vacation!

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 30 reviews* * *Ammira Mare* *Maisonette near sea with pool
My boyfriend and I spent two days at Ammira Mare and was just what we needed. The location was beautiful and offered a relaxing atmosphere. Fanis, our host, was friendly and helpful, making sure we had what we needed during our visit. The facilities were clean, and the beach was a short walk away, which was a nice perk (although we did enjoy the pool as well) Overall, everything was great, the house was perfectly cleaned and we had everything we needed. Thank you Fanis!! We will definitely come back!

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviewsEleni Luxury Maisonette with Jacuzzi
Its a great loft styled house that has an amazing patio/ rooftop! The place is also very conveniently located close to the highway and has lots of restaurants, shops, and pharmacies nearby! As its close to the airport, we did hear a lot of loud airplane taking off but it DID NOT bother us and it was very cool to see plane taking off in the hot tub! The hot tub was such a great addition to the space and the host provided bathrobes for our stay which was also a nice touch! It is placed in an area that is very private on the rooftop so you can totally enjoy with privacy. The host is great communicators and respond very promptly! The check out experience was very easy and they made it extra hassle free!
Home in Iraklio
5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsMelKo Home
We had a long stay of 1 month, everything was great. The house is modern and equipped with everything necessary for both a longer and a short stay. Very clean and neat. The hosts are very welcoming, we had a really good time. I went with the child under 1 year and had all the necessary to have home-like comfort: crib, bed sheets for the child, the owners brought him toys. The location is accessible, it is a bus station, pharmacies, supermarchet, restaurant, confectionery even a local market. The area is quiet and clean, the neighbors very nice. The hosts are super attentive, they always asked us if we have everything we need and if we need anything to tell them. We loved it! We're sure to come back!

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 39 reviewsHelen`s Luxury Apartment
Ideal accommodation and well located, very close to the airport so very convenient for a start or end of stay. The house is located in a quiet area, it is very well isolated phonetically. You will hardly hear the planes take off. Perfect for 4-5 people. Helen was lovely and answered any questions we had. I would recommend it 100%

5 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviewsCloud 9 with Garden near the Sea
This house is immaculate and absolutely everything you need is there. Georgios was so friendly and hospitable, and generous with his garden produce (which was so tasty). We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a home away from home while on holiday.

This is one of the best & nicest airbnb ive stayed at! The host was super helpful & nice. Took his time to show us around the airbnb & surrounding areas on what to do. Would def book here again when i come back. It was also in a great location with a lot of food options & things to do + the beach, all was walking distance! 10/10 recommend

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviewsMaisonette "Kleanthi"
Amazing hosts who took spectacular care of us. They were even gracious enough to pick us up and drop us off from the ferry/airport. The hosts were the thing that make this experience 5 star. This spot is very walkable to whatever you might want to do in town. We walked to Ammoudara beach and to dinner every night with ease. The neighborhood is a bit run down around the apartment, but we always felt safe. But it’s the biggest flaw of this spot. The perk is you definitely don’t need a car for this spot. Groceries and things to do are all a short walk away. For the price of this spot, I think the value is definitely there. Its a simple accommodation with some very clear renovations that make it feel really nice and fun. The house itself is really well done. Very cute and very clean. We cooked a lot, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We were really happy with this pick, as we really wanted something in the city that felt good to be in. I would stay here again if in Heraklion.

Ms Antigoni's place was beautiful and in perfect condition. It was fully equipped and had a nice garden guarded by a great, friendly dog. The location was nice but only accessible by car as it is outside the city. A great place to relax and disconnect. Ms Antigoni was friendly and flexible with the check in. We totally recommend it.

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews"Arismari" Studio 2 min from Mades beach
We really enjoyed our short stay at Andy's apartment- it was cozy and comfortable, with a beautiful terrace. Her house is just a few minutes from a quiet beach, and the next one can be reached by foot in less than 20 minutes. We also had the pleasure of meeting our host. She recommended the most interesting places in the neighborhood and in the other areas of the island that we would go to later and offered us a homemade dessert. We would definitely come back again!

5 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviewsEvangelia Casa, comfy stay, centrally, with views!
An oasis of calm close to the seafront, harbour and old town. The house is beautifully renovated and as all that you need for your stay. Communicating with the owners was excellent & we got an instant response. It would have been helpful to have a bit more information about services in the immediate area especially grocery shops. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend to others.

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 65 reviewsMike's cosy house
The apartment was a good fit for us as we needed at late notice a place to stay after we were bumped from our flights by Lufthansa. The place is near the airport and does have plane noise. It is a nice neighborhood and we found a number of restaurants we enjoyed. Self check in was simple. All was as described.
