This apartment is the best located in Rethymno. The views especially from the terrace are spectacular and the terrace is above and juts out from surrounding buildings so you are assured complete privacy. There is a lovely balcony at the other end of the apartment with lovely views over the rooftops of the old town towards the old mosque with a great view of the minaret. It can be quite noisy late at night given the position beside the long list of restaurants and bars. But with the double-glazed doors and windows closed it is hardly noticeable. And you can literally walk downstairs and have all of these facilities on your doorstep. Elisabeth also left everything I needed in terms of bathroom toiletries and even some food and drink in the fridge. For self-catering I recommend the 'Supermarket 7 days' (Google maps: 35.37083609607441, 24.473720753287687). It is reasonably big and I found it the cheapest place and is only a 5 minute walk away.
