We had a really nice time staying at Clive's house in Heraklion. It's located in a tiny, quiet street, but very near the center of the action in the old town, so great if you want to walk to dinner and shopping! The only problem is that the place is very, very hard to find (because it's on such a tiny street) so definitely take Clive up on his other of driving you back from the airport! The house is gorgeous and spacious, and Clive makes you feel hugely welcome - he left us a bunch of breakfast items, tons of bottled water, and even a bottle of wine and fruits to share when we arrived. Fresh towels all the time... etc. There isn't any AC, so the house does get pretty warm - the fact there are lots of windows and fans does help though. Clive is super nice and easy to deal with, straightforward and reliable. I definitely recommend the place - it felt like a steal for the quality of the accomodation!
Happy travels to Crete -
