I had a really great time in the house of Despoina! The house is in a quiet place in 1 minute walk to the beach. The beach was great.
In the house there are all the things you could have in your own house: soap, shampoo, towels in the bathroom, all kind of dishes in the kitchen, all you need to do laundry and a lot of nice details to feel more comfortable! The washing machine and TV with USB were also there.
The sleeping room is very comfortable. As I was staying in October, it was a little bit cold outside in the night. But I made the air conditioner on the "warm-mode" and it was very warm again.
When I got some questions, Despoina was there to help me all the time.
About the neighborhood : there are some tavernas, some mini-markets and two big supermarket in a walk-distance. A pharmacy was also there.
To the center of Heraklion you have to take a 15 minutes bus, which go each 10-15 minutes. The bus station is in 2 minutes walk.
