We spent a great week at Costa's appartment, it matches perfectly with the pictures and description. The garden and the sea view are awesome, we could'nt have expected a better place for our holidays !
The appartement number 7 isn't noisy, particularly in the night because the beds are situated on the other part, in front of the sea. Thanks to the sea wind you can enjoy sleeping with the waves sound if you don't close your window! We've tried and it's really relaxing !
It's not situated far from the city center, you're there in about a 20 minutes walk, which is by the way the best way to go there because the Cretans are a little bit crazy when driving in the city !!!
Rethymno is a beautifull city, with a nice city center and venetian fortress. There are nice places if you want to spend the night in town ! Also, Costa will give the name of VERY good restaurants next to Mamangakis Appartement ... Cretan food is a real delight !
But we must say that, above all, the best thing in this place are their hosts ! Costa is a very nice man, always ready to help and give advices, he is always joignable and quick to answer. Unfortunately we did'nt had much time to share a lot of moments with him.
We also met a wonderful person, Maria, Costa's mom. We could'nt have a better welcoming with a lot generosity and kindness : it was a pleasure spending time with her in the garden, she always had small kindnesses for us during our stay ! We will miss her !
If we can go to Crete in the next years we will definitly stay at Mamangakis again !
