The apartment is in a very good location: 5 minutes walking distance from supermarkets, bakery and other shops; 25 minutes walking distance from the old town and Venitian Port. Rethymno's beach is 5 minutes away, although the ones Nikos suggests are much better.
The apartment is clean, well furbished and quiet. The only thing missing would be a washing machine.
The area is safe, family friendly and there's plenty of parking spaces outside.
Sofia and Nikos were very welcoming, giving us plenty of advice on things to do and places to go, both in Rethymno and elsewhere in Crete. They are definitely Super Hosts.
I highly recommend this place!
