Maria's place really is the perfect spot to explore Rethymno. It was just a few minutes walk into old town, and to the beach. We had a car so didn't want to deal with parking in old town, and while parking is a little tricky in the city, we were able to find street parking. Maria's place is just like the photo show. Very comfortable for two people. We love the patio and the view of the sea. Maria was very responsive to any questions we had, and the self check-in was a breeze.
