Eirini very kindly met us at the airport for which she did not charge us. She also provided some rolls for breakfast and was very friendly and helpful.I wish we could have had more time to chat.
We were four people who are not young and the house turned out to involve quite a lot of going up and down steep concrete stairs as the toilet/shower room is on the ground floor and the bedrooms on the first.The bedrooms are rather strange in that one has a very low bed and the other very high.There is no door to the one that leads through to the terrace stairs which could be difficult if the occupants wanted privacy.The lovely terrace is up a tall spiral staircase but we were not there long enough to make use of it unfortunately .
The kitchen seemed well equipped for cooking but we did not need to do any.
I think the house would suit younger people who just need a bed for the night in a lovely central situation. It would not have suited us any longer than two nights and really needs warm weather so that people can be outside.
Eirini leaves the house as it is when the family use it and that is fine and makes it homely ,we did not want a hotel as it is nicer to meet local people.
It does seem rather expensive though when compared with a hotel that can be booked for much the same money in the same area which we did on our return to Heraklion for one night a week later.
