If you want to experience Heraklion like a local Cretan, this is the place to be. Eirini and Vincent will recommend you the best taverns where Cretans go to dine, so you can immerse into the native spirit and avoid the crowded overpriced tourist traps. The house itself will allow you to experience the native way of living in the middle of the old town. Every single museum is in a walking distance. Visit this place and you are in for a treat.
