    Location was very good. 10 minutes on foot from Morosini fountain with restaurants and cafes, 10 minutes from Elevtheria Square with Museum, buses to Knossos, beach and airport. Manos is a great host, speaks very good English, can give advice and is very helpful. We liked the house a lot. It has a roof terrace, lots of plants and is all in an individual, interesting style.

    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!

    The flat is in a quiet district ten minutes walk from the centre of town and is fully equipped. Our host, Maria, was there to give us our keys, but that took a bit of arranging, since our bus from Chania was an hour late. The flat is obviously lived in by real people when it's not being rented out and there were many things which made one feel as if one were living in someone's private home.
