We had a very good time at Poppy's apartment. The host is very friendly and helpful and the apartment not only has all the necessary amenities, but it is also very conveniently located. It is right in front of a beautiful park with a playground and a cafe. It is also just a few steps from a beach, the city center and the old city where you can find a variety of shops, restaurants, super markets, etc. Because Rethymno is located between Heraklion and Chania, we were also able to easily drive from there to these locations and many of the beautiful beaches in Crete while limiting our travel time to maximum of around 2 hours (depending on the location one stays in Crete it can take quite some hours to reach the nicest beaches, which are usually located in Western Crete). In our opinion, the only downside of the apartment is the shower. You have to hold the shower head while showering and we did not find that very practical, especially when we wanted to wash our hair. In addition, because of the way the shower is built the whole bathroom floor becomes inevitably very wet each time one showers requiring a bit of cleanig afterwards. Otherwise, everything was good and we thank Ποπη for her hospitality.
