This is an excellent little apartment, so nicely thought out and beautifully presented. The AirBnB host George is an excellent communicator, and his parents Mikalis and Gill who live on site were so helpful and friendly, we kept stopping to chat with them and get their personal recommendation for places to go. They have been doing this for years so everything was lovely and smooth.
The location was perfect for us - two minutes to Lidl, five minutes walk to the village centre full of restaurants (we pass on their recommendation for Kellaris, be sure to make room for the amazing meze!) and shops, less than another five to the beach, and situated near the new highway but very quiet. Just what we wanted, village life not 24-hour night life.
The apartment is twenty minutes drive from the centres of Rethymno and Heraklion, or a cheap taxi ride from the rank in the village, and there are tourist-trip pickups too for going further afield.
We couldn't have asked for a better place, or hosts.
