We had a wonderful time at Christina’s property, The Pent, in Rethymno. As far as Christina…She is nothing short of an amazing, wonderful, helpful host (she is now Aunt Christina to the boys)! We had never been to Rethymno before and had never experienced anything like old town. We arrived at 7pm and our taxi (Cozy Taxi-Thanks Michael and Artemis) helped us wheel 9 suitcases through old town, no small feat. Christina helped guide us in and met us out front. We finally got up to The Pent, wiped from travel to find a bottle of Raki, juice for the boys and some kind words from Christina. The Pent was great for our 1 month stay in Rethymno. It was big enough to make some food when we wanted to, but we ended up going out a lot! There are so many places in walking distance that it is almost overwhelming. We had our favorite hype guy at Agrimo, closed Monitor down (the bar/restaurant next door) more times than we would like to admit, and probably had the best omelets of our life up the hill at Melina. We even played soccer with some locals in the square right outside The Pent. We were minutes away from the marina beach, and maybe 15 minutes’ walk to the organized beach. Hopefully, you can tell this location is close to everything you need and if you can’t find something, Christina will probably know where you can. As for The Pent, in the heart of old town, this 2-bedroom apartment is perfect. We work from home and our boys love their games and we felt the Wi-Fi is adequate, which is expected in this area. There were 2 AC units and a ceiling fan, which cooled the apartment just fine. The balcony that overlooks the street has a great view for people watching and houses the stairs up to the rooftop that provides fantastic views of Rethymno (we watched many sunsets/sunrises up there). The outdoor spaces are truly one of a kind and we enjoyed them immensely. The Pent had everything we needed for our time there. You can tell Christina had put a lot of work into the apartment and has thought of every fine detail needed to enjoy holiday. Everything had a place, and it made the smaller space feel large. There were four of us, and we never felt cramped or overwhelmed. She also had housekeeping that provided us fresh bedsheets and a quick tidy up around the place once a week. Quick note about past reviews regarding the “noise”…we did not find an issue with this at all. Even our two young boys had no problem. Yes, some nights, you hear a rhythmic thumping/bass, but it was never loud or intrusive or intolerable, heck some nights, I think it lulled us to sleep. We realize that this sort of thing might be singular to each individual, and Christina does as well, because in every room, she has thoughtfully supplied ear buds in case of sensitivity. Personally, I feel old town, itself, has its own beat and it has nothing to do with the noise. Everything about our stay was amazing and we look forward to seeing Christina and our new friends in Rethymno in the future. We would 100% book this property again. No question. This home is everything listed and more; you will not regret booking a stay at The Pent. As stated above, the property itself is lovely and absolutely worth the price, but the host Christina, is positively priceless.
