Why is it “mieux”?

Why is it “mieux”?

Hi,  my kwizbot it is telling my that in this example,”Cette maison est bien. - Oui, elle est ________ l'autre.” 

the correct answe is “mieux.” Why? Doesn’t mieux modify a verb? Here were modifying a noun (maison), so it should be “meilleur” by all logic, so why is the correct answer “mieux”?
