Clive's place is charming; he has restored it himself and it is loaded with eclectic signs of his artistic personality. When we arrived he walked us around the local area showing us some places to eat and telling us about the city, which was interesting and helpful, and when we had a minor problem (ran out of hot water) he responded instantly to tell us which switch to flip to get things going again. The house is located a quick walk from a corner market and a longer, but still short, walk from a supermarket, so cooking is convenient; the kitchen is a decent size and we had no trouble cooking meals there. Wi-fi is fast and reliable, the big-screen TV and stereo system are great for relaxing in the evening, and the bedroom is light and airy with a pleasant balcony area.

When we were there the neighbor was doing some remodeling work on the adjacent house which was a bit noisy. I expect that will be finished soon so it may not be an issue. Other than that we had no complaints and if we're back in Heraklion at some point we'll look Clive up again.
