Maria's house is beautiful and in an excellent location close to all of the delights of the old town of rethymnon. The house had all the facilities that we required especially the very effective and much needed air conditioning. The house is a couple of minutes walk from everythingthat is wonderful about rethymnon. If you like swimming/snorkeling then go right out of the door walk to the end of the street turn left keep walking until you get to the sea then turn right, just before you get to the taverna there are steps down to a rocky outcrop where the sea is crystal clear and full of fish. If you have hired a car there is a free car park very close to the house, I never failed to find a space the whole 2 weeks that we were there. Create is beautiful and well worth a visit
