I needed a room for one night near the airport in Heraklion, and this small hotel provided that. It was within walking distance to the Europcar car rental (15 minutes), where I went the next morning to pick up the rental car. The area was very safe, very close to a grocery store, and easily walkable.
The only negative about the hotel is that it is extremely noisy because of the planes flying overhead, but that seems to be a problem in many parts of Heraklion and even at the beach resorts east of Heraklion.
