We had really great time while staying in the house. The owners are very helpful and friendly, they welcomed us with some specialities of Greek cuisine and they were making sure we have everything we needed during our stay. The apartment is spacious, clean and equipped - very comfortable and safe for children. You will find shops and pubs in neighborhood, the beach is lovely and it is within the walking distance (few minutes), the water is warm and clean. Rethymno is a great place to stay when you plan to vist the whole island, as it is in the middle of it. Definitely the house is a place we recommend.
