Lovely little apartment steps from the beach, but a little further from old town than we would have preferred. Perfect if you are going to Rethymno for the beach and water sports; we were there for a wedding, and all of our friends were staying in old town, so it felt far away from nightlife, etc, but we never had a problem finding a cab to and from - there is a taxi stand right at the end of the street from the apartment. The space had everything we needed, including beach towels, and we even did a load of laundry before continuing on our travels. Lena was very responsive, and helped us arrange private transport from Heraklion airport, which was very appreciated when arriving late at night after a long day of travel. Her brother lives in the building and helps look after the place. He was so kind and even gave us some of his homemade Raki, which was better than any we had ever had! We had an issue with the shower flooding, but didn’t realize until after a few messes that we had inadvertently closed the drain; still, it’s not recommended to take long showers. Overall this was a lovely place that suited our needs, and in the end it was nice to have a place to get away from the hustle and bustle, at an incredible price.

We checked in at night so it was a little difficult to navigate in the dark. The place was exactly as pictured online and provided everything we needed. The host was great at communicating with us when we had a question. The place ran out of hot water on the last 2 days of our stay, so that was unfortunate. Other than that, it was so beautiful and cozy! The location was great as well! Thank you!
