We chose Eirini's house because of all the enthusiastic reviews we'd read, and it lived up to expectations. We enjoyed the rustic yet stylish interior and the beautiful roof top outside space, great for meals. The local area, like the house, is full of character. We arrived very late after a delayed flight, but even at 11pm were able to find a café with a very "local" flavour within a few minutes' walk, with live and mellow music, which later led briefly to dancing in the street... One morning we were woken by the amplified singing from the nearby church, which then continued for 3 hours! Presumably to mark a special day of some kind? We stayed for 3 nights in early June, and the house was nice and cool to come back to after our days out. It's a very special place that definitely added another dimension to our visit to Heraklion.
