My fiance and I stayed only for one night since we were driving from preveli beach to paleochora. The apartment itself is wonderful, each floor has its own unique charm and you have everything you need to enjoy your time in Rethymno. The host was also very welcoming and came over to say hello. The balcony was a bonus for us that we didn't expect and was lovely at night. The location is so center that you only need a few minutes to get into old Town and also a few minutes to walk to the fortress where next to the sea you can watch the amazing sunsets. Somethings for next visitors to watch out if coming by car is to really follow the hosts instructions and only drive onto the road that she has stated you can park. If you arent that confident of a driver do not drive into the street where the apartment is located. It is very tight and you will have difficulty if your car is bigger. On the road that is next to it we had no problem parking, also for free. One more thing is that if you are sensitive to loud noises, this is not the apartment for you. The houses are not very noise canceling and since you are so close to the street we could hear everything outside early in the morning. We are deep sleepers though, so for us it was no issue. Also, beware of the stairs since they are not very easy to get up and down. Other than those minimal factors, it was a great place to stay. Thank you for the stay we loved this charming little place and would definitely come back again!
