I had a great time staying in Andreas's flat in Gonia. The flat is located in a small village about 10-15 minutes drive from Rethymno so having a car is fairly essential. There are a few very nice taverns around it including one directly under the flat where you can order food that is delivered right to your flat.
The flat itself is modern, very well furnished and decorated and in excellent condition with all the amenities required.
We have arrived quite late and I unfortunately forgot to tell Andreas about the time of arrival but nevertheless Andreas has quickly arrived to let us in whilst we had a meal in the tavern and also offered us some wine! He was also very helpful in letting us know about the places to see, etc and in resolving any issues/questions that we had about the apartment.
All in all an excellent experience. Would highly recommend!
