Our stay with Eleni was wonderful! She and her boyfriend were so helpful when we asked about day trips to other parts of the island. We were delayed in arriving the first night and we could not email her on the go to let her know our estimated delayed arrival time, but she and her boyfriend stayed up and waited for us past midnight, and gave us a warm welcome despite the long wait! My wife and I were on our honeymoon and the Studio Lefaki was a great place to base ourselves for experiencing Rethymno and other parts of western Crete (Preveli Beach, Episkopi Beach, Arkadi Monastery, Hania, and the Samaria Gorge)! The apartment is perfectly located on the outskirts of the most touristy parts of the Old Town section of the city but is still within a short walk of all the places you'd want to go see. There is a parking lot very nearby if you have a rental car (which reminds me, Eleni let us use her phone and helped us call the rental car company and arrange for a different rental car drop-off time than originally planned - she tried to get the company to give us a nice discount for the extra time, but, alas, was unsuccessful. Still VERY thoughtful though!). One thing about the Old Town: at night there are pretty noisy scooters and motor bikes that zoom by on the streets (these types of vehicles are the only ones that can fit on the thin streets of Old Town). Though the Green Studio (Anastasia) has a charming view of the street below and pleasant greenery right outside the window, you may want to think about staying in one of the inner apartments if you're a light sleeper! There is also an awesome roof with patio furniture up a spiral staircase from the second floor apartments. Great to sit up there during the day enjoying the sun with a book and a beer or two. The apartment cat just had a few kittens - they were also pleasant additions to the whole authentic Greek experience, and they finally let us pet them the night before we left! Overall great experience and highly recommended!
