This place is incredible! It's beautiful on the photos, but it is even more amazing when you get to live here! The owner paid attention to the details, which makes it a rare find on AirBNB!!! Josef is also an amazing and very attentive host. He helped us with any request and always responded VERY quickly.
Here's a quick overview of the main aspects (I hope you find this useful):
THE TERRACE:
This is probably the most amazing part of the apartment. It's a large terrace with a big dining table, an outdoor living room, and a sofa swing. You have a fantastic view over Rethymno and the Mediterranean Sea.
THE BEDROOMS:
There are 4 bedrooms, and one of the rooms has windows all the way around – my favourite bedroom I've ever stayed in (and I've traveled a LOT!)
THE KITCHEN:
It's not just fully equipped, it's also equipped with high-quality pans, pots, utensils, a great coffee machine, water boiler, and all the other kitchen items you may need, but all in great shape and good quality. This makes a BIG difference for feeling like you're actually living in a place.
THE FURNITURE:
The whole place is equipped with tasteful, high-quality furniture. There are very large and comfortable couches in the living room.
THE LOCATION:
It's a 10 minute walk down the hill to the beach and to lots of cafés, restaurants, and several supermarkets. It's 15-20 minutes walking distance from the old town. I love this location, because you are closer to Rethymno's wonderful beach than if you were right in the old town and it is peaceful and quiet here (plus you're on top of a hill, so you have a fantastic view!)
