The apartment/studio is small but very cozy. The balcony, facing the sea is amazing. There's a small table with two chairs in the balcony that we used to have our breakfast every morning watching the sea. There are also two more "relaxed" chairs/sits in the balcony that we used to sit and watch the sunset every evening. The sunsets from the balcony are breath taking.
One needs to walk about 10 minutes to get to the old town, but we did not mind. In fact, we found that you are close enough to enjoy the vibe of old town every evening, so we were very happy with the location.
The apartment was super clean. We had everything we needed and more. From the appliances in the kitchen to the bathroom with washing machine, everything was perfect. The apartment has also air conditioning and a fan hanging from the ceiling. There are a couple of sofas and a table with chairs inside.
Manos was a great host. From day one he was ready to help. He left several things for us as welcome gifts: fruits, vegetables, coffee, tea, cheese, butter, olives , among other things... He also provided several tips for our stay in Rethymnon. In particular, his tip for Prima Plora, a restaurant we had not seen in guide books, was excellent. We can only thank him and we hope we can come back some time soon!
