Sehr zentral gelegen, guter Ausgangspunkt für Erkundungen
Pros:

Lage sehr zentral, schönes historisches Haus, Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber hat sehr gut geklappt

Cons:

Die (eigentlich kleine) Straße war etwas laut - allerdings waren wir auch am Fr/Sa in Heraklion, unter der Woche wäre es ggf. leiser gewesen

Une adresse séduisante mais beaucoup trop bruyante
Pros:

L’emplacement, la taille de la chambre , vaste, et son style. La terrasse attenante à la chambre

Cons:

Le bruit de la rue est insupportable
Les fenêtres sont en simple vitrage et pas jointives.

AMAZING property but can be noisy
Pros:

What an amazing property in the middle of the old city. I did not expect a stand alone house. The exterior and interior are amazing. The rooms were big and locations to shopping and restaurants were great. Bonus, all down hill to either the port or the bus station.

Cons:

The master bedroom was extremely noisy and especially noticeable at night. I did not like the fact that you had to walk through the first bedroom to get to the second.
