Giota is by far the sweetest most thoughtful host! We felt so welcomed by her lovely family! In the very modern apartment we found everything we needed from an extremely well equipped kitchen to toys for our kids. A basket full of fresh fruits and even fresh eggs from the familys hens in the back yard! Giota helped us find everything we needed in Rethymno and made sure we knew exactly where to go. Whenever we were in need of anything such as a lighter or even a screwdriver for our personal needs- she arrived with it at our door in no time! We celebrated our sons 4th birthday while we were staying there and Giota showed up with a gift for him! This was so touching and generous of her we were speechless! The only thing we were disappointed by was the fact that in the pictures the property had a large grassy garden but in fact there was no grass at all so our 1yo had less space to crawl around. But really thats the only thing we were missing and we highly recommend it for a stay in Rethymno! The location is ok as with a car everything is a 10 mins drive.
