About this property
19th century old town house
The house is at the center of the old town of Heraklion, is recently rebuild and it's hard to date (somewhere in the middle of 19th century). Has stone walls and that makes it really cool at the summer . It has all his traditional character mixed with some new elements that I used when I was working on it . It has upstairs a terrace full of plants and a bedroom with a queen sized bed (coco-mat mattress). Downstairs is the bathroom ,the kitchen (full stocked) and the living room with a big build couch,who can be used as a bed for a third person (dimensions 2,30x 1,00 m).
The location of the house is 5min. walk away from the main center of the city in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood.
All the main attractions of the city can be approached very easily, archaeological museum (7 min walk away), port (10 min. walk away),bus stop (200meters walk away),open market (300meters walk away)
It's really close to the Venetian walls (50meters), a place where you can have nice walk.
There is full Wi-Fi access at the house , a hi-fi system provided if you want to listen music and a 37" TV who can connect with your lab top via HDMI port.
