Great location and pleasant host. However, the place is a bit sub-par. One of the twin beds creaks at every little movement (we had to sleep with earphones in), we found multiple (admittedly dead) cockroaches in the place the 2nd night we can back, and the you have to wait 30 minutes before you can have any hot water for the teeny shower. It worked for our needs, but we personally expected more based on the price and previous reviews, and would look for a different place if we decided to come back to Rethymo.
