From beginning to end this was a pleasurable and relaxing stay. Eri and her family are very sweet and accommodating, her cute little son greeted me upon arrival and helped carry a bag and one of her lovely daughters helped me on my departure. I was welcomed with a wonderful Cretan snack which was very much appreciated as I was starving, also included some raki and bottles of water. Eri was very generous and helpful from recommending a great restaurant close by for a traditional meal, to helping me find my bus for my next departure. She was even kind enough to drive me to the bus station since I had a lot of luggage. I cannot say enough good things about my stay. Eri understands the importance of details. The place was spotlessly clean and well equipped, including a very comfortable bed. I highly recommend if your looking to be close to the city but also looking for a relaxing beach stay as well, as it's a short bus ride to Heraklion and a very short walk to the beach.
