The apartment has a great location if you want to be in the center of Rethymno life, the restaurants and the old city is just a few steps away, the beach is quite close too, same as supermarkets and small grocery or fresh food stores. Because it is central, however, it is somewhat noisy because of crowds of tourists strolling the main street. The apartment is not big, has two rooms (each equipped with AC) and a small kitchen. There is a pretty nice balcony with a view at sea and the Rethymno harbor. If you have a car, finding a place for parking can be quite challenging.
Maria is a great host, she took care of all the supplies - we didn't need to thing of anything really during our stay. She was very quick in responses. A very nice surprise was a baby cot that she has arranged even though we haven't specifically asked for one. If you travel with the baby there are main things you need available.
