A few metres from the Venetian Walls, this apartment grants you easy access to the heart of the city. Here you'll find a balcony for your downtime and an open-concept living space, great for itinerary planning. Having one shower between eight guests means waiting your turn, and there's no lift to take you upstairs. But this home is all about location. Don't feel like cooking? There are plenty of restaurants at hand. As for sightseeing, you can walk to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. *The twin beds in bedroom two are pushed together to create a double. *There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home. It's on the second floor. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
