"Pros: Apartment was lovely clean and comfy. Halfway through my stay a cleaner came and I got fresh towels and bedding which was great. Had all amenities that I needed. Host was very quick with responses to any messages I sent. There was a key code to get into front of property and a key box with the apartment key once you are inside so place felt very secure. Good location and within walking distance to the centre of Rethymno. There is no dedicated parking space however as it was in a corner at the end of the road there was a large area where lots of cars can park and I never had any issues finding somewhere. Cons: This is not a reflection of the property (which was excellent) but just something to think about if you intend to stay. The property is at the top of a steep incline which is how you get the nice views but sometimes in the heat was abit of a struggle. So if you have issues walking it’s just something to think about." ~Helen

We thank you for the affectionate welcome with your products ... delicious! Highly recommended . Cons: Nothing" ~Matteo

"Pros: We spent a wonderful two weeks in this apartment. In reality, the place is even better than in the photos. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The apartment was spotlessly clean, as were the bed linens and towels. We were pleasantly surprised to find pears, peaches, watermelon, and water in the fridge - it was such a nice touch after a long journey and really helped us refresh and have a quick snack. Huge thanks to the hosts for that! The kitchen also had essentials like salt, sugar, and some spices, along with plenty of dishes and utensils. Another great bonus was the coffee machine with capsules provided for the first few days. The bed was comfortable, and in the bedroom, there was a large, silent ceiling fan — sleeping under it was much more pleasant than using the air conditioner. Check-in was easy, with detailed instructions provided. This wasn’t our first time in Crete, so we didn’t reach out to the hosts for sightseeing tips, but the apartment’s location on a hill turned out to be an advantage - very quiet, yet still close to the center, about a 12-15 minute walk. We’ve stayed on the waterfront before - never again! This time, everything suited us perfectly. It’s hard to say what might be missing - the apartment has everything and even more compared to the average accommodation in Crete. Parking was no problem either. There’s a large free public parking lot nearby, but we often found spots even closer. On Mondays, there’s a market held at the parking area where you can buy fresh local produce — fruits, vegetables, honey, cheese, olive oil, and even fish, which they clean for you. The quality is excellent, and the atmosphere of the market and the warmth of the Greek vendors is unforgettable. One more big plus - we were allowed a late check-out, which helped a lot. Of course, we were lucky, as there were no new guests arriving that day. We’re very grateful to John and Chrysa for creating such a comfortable space." ~Anonymous
