Elia's apartment is located ideally off of the main Guora Gate in Old Town on a quiet side street. It is 2 minutes to everything in the old town and 20-25 minutes walking distance to the city beach.
The apartment itself is as pictured and advertised. Easily large enough for 2, and could be fine for 1 extra person, although they would need to sleep on a sofa bed and there are no doors in the apartment except for the bathroom.
The kitchen is equipped with a small fridge and hot plate. There is also a really good washing machine Elia provided detergent and a hamper.
The bedroom is large and has a closet for storage in addition to a fantastic iron and ironing board. The queen size bed is somewhat firm but comfortable.
The bathroom is very small. The shower in particular isn't very large and the curtain continuously drafts in while you are washing. It was the only part of the apartment we didn't love as it seemed a bit worn down and in need of a deep cleaning and update. Water pressure and hot water are good otherwise!
The patio is fantastic, with comfortable chairs and is a perfect place to have coffee and breakfast.
Parking is available 5 minutes away for 5 Euros daily. Free parking is possible close by on the street but you need to be lucky to find it.
Elia was a great host, facilitating a later than expected check in, and being available for questions at all times. She was great!
Overall, this apartment is a great value in the heart of Rethymnon and we would definitely visit again. Thanks Elia!
