This was the first time I used airbnb and I couldn't have chosen a more perfect start. As others have commented before me, Clive really goes out of his way to make his guests feel welcome and ensure you have all you need. From picking me up at the airport late in the evening, to providing a kitchen stocked with the basics for breakfast the next day, to emailing me useful tips throughout the week on what to do and see - Clive does it all. The house was spotless and as stunning as the pictures suggest, a real gem, and a unique blend of Cretan lifestyle and artistic quirkiness. And while you do hear the neighbours during the day (hardly surprising when everybody has their windows open in an attempt to find a cross-breeze to cope with the August heat), at night the house is a peaceful oasis - all a bare 5 minute stroll from the attractions of the bustling city centre. My only regret is that I didn't see more of the island in the week I was there; I just spent so much time enjoying the house and all that Heraklion has to offer. All the more reason to come back, in which case I would certainly stay here again.
