Eirini's place is amazing! Within a few walking minutes you find restaurants, grocery shops, bars, cafés and everything you need. Still it is situated in a quiet area. Even though we saw the host just once when we left the house they were there anytime when we needed something as they live just in the house next door. And when you write them you'll get your answer within the next half an hour. As our flight landed early in the morning and we also left in the late evening we could even check-in earlier and chek-out later too. We really appreciated that!
Only thing to keep in mind: there is no air-conditioning (we knew that) and even if it has a lot of fans in the house it get's pretty hot during the day (we were there in the end of july).
Anyway we would recommend it to everyone who's looking for a nice place to stay in Heraklion!
