I had such a wonderful stay at Brigitte’s place in Rethymno! The apartment is lovely—clean, bright, spacious, and includes all the amenities you’d need/want, including AC and laundry. A balcony provides a great spot to take in the beautiful Cretan light, morning or sunset. The apartment is perfectly located in the old town on one of the quieter streets, but a short walk to everything old town has to offer, including restaurants, cafes, groceries, bakeries, shops, and places of historical and cultural interest. It’s a 15-minute walk to the beach, which in Rethymno is several kilometers long, so you have your pick of sun beds even in the height of the summer tourist season. Brigitte herself is an incredible host, very helpful and responsive, thoughtful, warm and funny. I’d highly recommend staying!
