Alex is the best super host we have ever experienced! He was so kind and hospitable! We had an emergency situation due to the ferries not running because of the strike. He responded and had his apartment ready in a couple hours of us calling that morning saying we were stranded on the island.
His apartment was very comfortable and clean and in a great location. When we were walking to the building we stopped and asked directions of someone having a coffee and he said “are you looking for Alex?” and smiled! It was really cool to see that Alex has great ties in the neighborhood! We were also greeted at one of his restaurant recommendations like old friends.
All in all we had no plans to stay in Heraklion until 2 hours before and ended up having a great time there because of Alex. He made much better a really crappy situation of an unplanned diversion in our trip and from our time in Santorini.
