This flat was great, modern and bright, with two excellent outdoor areas and a small but very well equipped kitchen. The host and family were extremely friendly and welcoming too. It is a local neighbourhood close to the bus station and the western edge of the old town. We walked to the beach which is a bit further but it was very nice to be away from all the hotels and package tourists. We travelled with two young children who enjoyed the flat and the adjecent communal courtyard. We would definately stay again if we returned to Rethymnon.
