Costa's place was a perfect base for exploring Rethymnon. About a 15-20 min walk to the old town. Costa and his mother were incredibly friendly and helpful (even left us cookies). The apartment is right on the water for those looking to take a swim in the afternoon or night and there are a few cafes/bakeries/stores near by for essentials. I would recommend Costa's place to anyone looking to stay in Rethymnon or establish a central base for exploring the rest of Crete.
