We stayed in Teo's apartment in Rethimno as a party of 6 people, and had a great time. This was our second visit to Crete, so we alreayd roughly knew our way around and had briefly visited Rethimno before. Teo was a great host, very friendly and helpful. He advised us on the best places to eat and shop, and he always answered questions promptly. On arrival at the apartment, he provided us with some homemade wine and Raki from his home village, which was a really nice gesture.

The apartment itself is stunning, easily as nice as it looks in the pictures. It is very spacious, and very clean. Each bedroom has its own balcony, and the main living area has huge windows looking out over the sea and the old part of the city (useful for the windy April evenings when it's a bit too cold to sit outside), as well as a very large balcony with the same view, great for alfresco eating. The apartment comes well equipped, with coffee maker (and coffee), cooker, fridge/ freezer, toastie/ panini maker, juicer and a few other bits and pieces. There are also utensils available for cooking meals. The apartment isn't particularly close to the beach, but is around a 10-15 minute walk to a small bay. The main beach in Rethimno is around a 10 minute drive. Cars can be parked directly outside the apartment.

Rethimno is a great city. There's plenty of history in the old part, with a castle and plenty of bars and restaurants to visit. Old town is around a 20 minute walk away form the apartment.

I'd definitely recommend staying here if you're planning a holiday to Crete.
