Pros:
Dimitra and her mom were very nice and friendly. Very appreciative of the fresh fruits brought to us daily and the nice welcome basket. Dimitra was responsive quickly to our messages, even gave us a lift to the airport. In the designing aspect, the house is very beautiful and enough different spaces for everyone. Beautiful front yard!
Cons:
When we booked, it mentioned online that there was an AC, I never thought to ask where the AC was located, because logically thinking, you’d expect the AC to keep the whole house cold. Especially for a SUPER HOT island like Rhodes. That being said, I had print screened the whole listing when I had booked. Once we arrived on the premises, the only AC available was in one of the bedroom’s upstairs!!! I went to check back the online listing thinking I missed out on something but noticed that Dimitra had re-wrote the comments about the AC and wrote that the only AC was in one of the bedroom’s. Basically, once our booking was confirmed Dimitra changed the notes of the AC and never cared to advise us about it. We would have changed our accommodations once we got there but there was almost nothing left to accommodate us. The 12 nights that we spent there were brutal for sleeping and it impacted our day activities as we were very sleep deprived! we actually all slept in the same room, some of us on the floor as we couldn’t handle the heat!! We went with the option of opening the windows, but because it’s windy at night, the window shutters would bang so hard that you couldn’t sleep. So you had to chose to either handle the noise or the heat. Very dangerous for elders to be in this heat! The 3 fans that were available weren’t strong enough and very noisy.
We had an issue with a man walking around with his BIG unleashed dogs asking my parents at separate moments odd questions about the neighbourhood. I messaged Dimitra asking her where the cameras are situated in the property (as mentioned in her listing) and she told me that she had ordered the cameras but they hadn’t arrived and that she forgot to take it off the listing. She told me that her dad would come and put up a camera the same day for us. He never came to install the camera and she never removed it from her listing description. Don’t know if the cameras are on now….
This could be a pro for some or a con for others, but there’s an apartment (Dimitra’s parents live there) underneath the house which is not mentioned in the listing or shown in the pictures. It wasn’t an issue for us, we enjoyed the company.
