Apartment is very large, fully furnished and equiped with all what you need and more. Large loggia with nice panoramic see view. So the name "penthouse" corresponds to the reality. The kitchen is completely equiped (I have a feeling they have more than I do at home), which is not obvious for apartments. Even fridge was filled with water and cidre.
Both Niki and host assistant Alexandra are very frendly and obliging, react immediately on questions, give many good tips (like how to get from/to the airport, local cafes, etc). Check-in /check-out and key handover/return organized perfectly. I had to leave to the airport at 6:30 on sunday, so Alexandra came at 6:15 for key return and organized the taxi to bus station.
The apartment is located directly in front of the Rethymno beach, it's 5-10 min walk to the old town. At this point I had to mention one negative point. The apartment is on the very crowed street with a lot of traffic day and night. Inspite of good windows, it's still quite loud, and not possible to sleep with open windows.
Oherwise, the apartment and host are really perfect!
