Valia was an excellent host. She responded very quickly to my messages and helped accommodate my last minute request to stay at her apartment.
The apartment is very close to the wonderful Rethymno beach, which you can access via a very typical narrow street behind her apartment.
We were wowed by how many kilometres long this beach is... we walked for 20-30 minutes and we arrived at the center of the city while being close to the waves. It must be even better in the summer!
The apartment was sparkling clean, the rooms are spacious, with every little detail taken care of. We felt like home even though our stay was very short.
Highly recommended!
