I stayed for two night at Eleni's place and very much enjoyed the stay there. The apartment is spacious, comes with a open plan kitchen & reception room and a separate bedroom. The bed is comfortable and the air-condition works well. One of the key aspects of the apartment is the lovely outdoor terrace which you can enjoy your breakfast or dry your laundry (yes the apartment comes with a washing machine!).

The location of the apartment is superb, located in the middle of old town Rethymo, 30 seconds walk to the buzz of the shops and tarvenas, yet tuck away in a quiet street where you get no street noise at all. Rethymo is a beautiful Venetian town with lovely shops and restaurant. I also used it as a base to explore the Prevelli beach which is about an hour's drive away. As there is no parking available in the old town, you can park for free near the Archaeology museum which is about 15 slow walk to the apartment.

Lily is a superb host. She was very responsive prior to our arrival and was kind enough to leave us a bowl of fruit. I will definitely with her again if I were to return to the Rethymno.
