Pros:
Everything! Don't even know where to start.
Very clean and even had a cleaner mid-week where we got new sheets and towels
Large comfortable sofa
Large smart TV
Great internet
Dedicated desk to work remotely
AC worked perfectly
Loved the screens on the balcony doors
Water temperature and pressure in the shower was great
Elevator!
Washer! But we bought our own detergent
South facing balcony so it was sunny all day
Great location, close to the beach, pretty quiet
Supermarket, bakeries, restaurants right at your feet
10 minute walk along the beach to the old town
Cons:
The one and only con I have is no shower curtain so the bathroom gets very wet after each shower. But nothing a quick squeegee didn't fix
Check in was so easy. Stavros' brother met us and we were able to leave our luggage while the apartment was being cleaned. He then took us to their friend's gyro place so we could have lunch (he even bought us a beer) and by the time we were done, the apartment was ready early for us to check in.
Check out was also a breeze. Stavros ordered us a taxi and met us at the apartment to pick up the keys
Communication with Stavros was delightful. From the start with the welcome gifts of raki, oil and soaps to the lists of places to see and restaurants to eat at and at the end with his check up that we made it to Chania. We even got a text 10 days later because he remembered we were leaving Crete. I honestly have not encountered a nicer host.
If you're staying in Rethymno, jump on this apartment.
