Konstandina and her location are lovely. She lives right above and will go out of her way to make sure you know where you are in the city, what to do, and for the few days we saw her she would pop down with whatever we needed and. I wish we would have had more time to talk or grab a drink with her but we were busy for a lot of our time in Rethymno 😕. When we walked into the apartment there were quite a few snacks and drinks waiting for us which was a small but very welcome thing after getting in a little later and fairly hungry!
The location is about a 10-15 minute walk from the deepest part of old town, we're from a desert and don't do well in humidity and even with all that we made it around the city just fine. It's very close to a supermarket, a few restaurants, but is one street up so you don't feel like it's crazy busy all the time.
