Maria's place was amazing. It was spacious with a large area to cook, which my parents-in-laws appreciated. 3 bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms allows you to stay as a group without much fighting over the bathroom. You get two terraces on opposite sides of the building. One side is in direct sunlight for those that like to tan and the other side is shaded with the view of the main street and sea. We were glad that the place came with a washing machine. The clothes dried very quickly on the sunny terrace, so no need for a dryer unit. There is plenty of street parking along the residential street. The beach is about a 5 minute walk as you navigate to the main street and across it.
The highlight of this airbnb is Maria's attentiveness. She took the time to explain how stuff works in the place. She answered all the questions that my talkative in-laws had. She also gave plenty of recommendations on what to do in Rethymno and the surrounding area. She was incredibly helpful even after check-in. We needed help with scheduling a taxi and she arranged for one to meet us. As you may or may not know, most of Crete does not have addresses besides the major city areas. It certainly would have been harder to communicate where we want to be picked up if we didn't have her help.
In short, Maria's place is clean, spacious, and has everything you need for the comforts of home. Maria was incredibly helpful and accommodating. She was very pleasant to talk to and makes sure you are having a great stay. Don't hesitate to ask her any questions during check-in or any other time during your stay.
