We spent 2 nights at the Acropolis Apartment (25-27 August), but in hindsight, we wish we had stayed longer!
The apartment is fantastic in everything, from the location, to the services, to the staff!
The location is excellent: immediately in front of the apartment there is a street with clothes shops, a bar-restaurant, and a supermarket immediately next door (it is practically immediately below the apartment, but pay attention to the prices, because they are a bit ' dear... it's better not to buy food there, but to eat in the bars and restaurants outside!). Less than 5 minutes on foot you reach the main road with a supermarket, a pharmacy and 2 stops for the KTEL bus immediately nearby: one towards Heraklion, (which stops both at the airport and in the center of Heraklion); and one that goes towards the east of Crete (therefore Stalida, Malia, Agios Nikolaos, etc.)
In 5 minutes on foot you can also reach the road that runs along the sea, and by walking another 2 minutes you can directly access the beach!
The room and the services offered are truly exceptional for the price paid! Our room was equipped with 2 very comfortable and modern beds, a spacious desk, a pouf, a large mirror, a French window that allowed access to a large balcony with a table and 2 chairs. The bathroom was equipped with a bathtub, with a curtain (I found the bathtub more comfortable than the showers with curtains found in other facilities in Crete, because with their showers you risk flooding the floor). The staff does not provide soap, so you have to make do to get it. In the corridor there are 2 very large wardrobes. The living room-kitchen space is large, with a single bed, a sofa, a table with 4 chairs, a small fridge, a television, and here too a French window that opens onto the balcony. The kitchen counter features a sink and induction hobs. There are cutlery, glasses, plates, toaster. However, a sponge and detergent for cleaning the dishes are missing.
The wifi is free in the common areas, and NOT in the room. To have private wifi it seems to me you have to pay a price of around €3-4 per device, every night. The air conditioning is also NOT free, but you have to pay a price of €7 per night.
The apartment has a large swimming pool (with sun loungers around it), accessible from 9:00 to 18:00
Close to the reception, on the ground floor, the apartment has common areas and offers a bar-restaurant service at very good prices!
Overall the stay far exceeded our expectations :) We were really very satisfied!
