The Sea-View Apartments

Nice appartment at the back of the building, having no sea view of course, but being much more quieter and bigger. More than necessary appliances provided in the apartment, laundry machine and electric oven included. The owner Stavros genuinely kind and assistful with everything, as well as Maria. A really appreciated convenience for me travelling with my car was that Stavros provided me with a card to park for free in the nearby parking of Marina. I would definitely stay there whenever I visit Rethymnon again.

OVERALL -> I thoroughly recommend this place for an awesome experience in Rethymno. POSITIVE ASPECTS Staff -> Stavros, the owner, is an amazing host that will go the extra mile to help you, give you advice and be always available for anything you might need during your stay: prior to the booking dates a detailed map with indications to the apartment from anywhere you might come from as well as highlighted free parking spots in the neighbourhood, real-time help to find a parking space if you arrive during peak time, a map of the city with , information of all services of the neighbourhood and loads of tips and advice to make the best of your trip as well as very pleasant conversations about travelling experiences, Room -> spacious and luminous room with a/c and fridge in full working order, the bed is very comfortable, and there is a small kitchen in the room. The balcony is spacious and has a string to hang your beach clothes if needed. There is also a sunshade you can take with you to the beach free of charge. Cleaning -> excellent standard, and toiletries are provided daily. Location -> the apartments are literally sea-view, which is delightful – the area is quite busy but the apartment windows are well-isolating so noise is not an issue. The location is really within a short walking distance to the town center (15min aprox at a normal pace). Parking availability -> despite being a busy area, you can easily find a parking space, except for peak hours (after 7pm) in which you might need to go around for a little longer but you will eventually find one close-by. NEGATIVE ASPECTS Room -> the only downside is that the shower plate is a bit small and has a curtain that easily gets stuck to you while you wash yourself and you end up spilling water outside – anyway, in Greece many bathrooms have showers that don’t have any kind of protection (no curtains or walls). If only the shower had plastic/glass doors, it would be perfect. WIFI-> intermittent signal sometimes.

The apartment itself has everything you need. It’s not plush by any means but it’s small, practical and clean. Stavros and Maria made us feel very welcome from the second of our arrival until the minute we left. Fantastic hosts! Maria cleaned the room everyday and left whatever we needed - fresh towels, an iron- nothing was too much trouble!! They even allowed us to leave our bags in their home as we had a late departure. The location couldn’t be better!! Across the road from the beach!! Next to restaurants and shops and even although it’s on the main road, it was quiet if that’s what you want. The view of the beach and sea from the balcony is fab! Loved our stay. Thank you so much Stavros and Maria.
