This was our first time to Crete. We arrived at 11 PM since our ferry from Santorini to Crete was delayed for almost 2 hours. We got lost in Rethimnon and finally found the apartment. Because we came very late, the host was not available. However, he left the keys and room number on the counter for us. The apartment was in a very small, but very busy street. There were tour buses constantly drove through the street. Parking was terrible and there was not enough spaces for parking. The apartment was in a very good location. The nice golden sandy beach was practically two buildings away, across the street. The old town was about 10 minutes walking along the beach. There were a lot of restaurants, markets, and bakery within walking distance. The beach near the apartment was not crowded as the section of the beach near the old town. The host was available for any question every day during the day. The apartment was clean and was just like the picture. The air conditioners were working well. The bedroom upstair was fairly large, and the bed was comfortable. The beds and pillows downstairs were very firm and uncomfortable. The kitchen was like a kitchenette, not a full kitchen. The stove was a heating plate. There was no oven. There was only few utensils. Overall, the apartment was a good value. The only draw back was parking.
