This beautiful little house sits in a perfect location in old town Rhodes. For two visitors, the size is incredibly good. For more than two vistors, the property would be suitable, but would feel crowded, do-able especially on a budget. The design and color scheme is very pretty and it is contemporary to today's aesthetics.
This property is a corporate rental situation, and The Graf Homes' staff is responsive to the concerns of renters. For example, we personally own a hot tub and are aware of how issues present, so after we stepped into the outdoor plunge pool at this Rhodes residence, we wondered about the pool's pH values due to a slight biofilm on the tiles. The Graf Homes staff came out and checked the pH for us, remarking the pH was "almost" ideal as they mitigated the concern.
Interestingly, 3 not so great things happened at this property: a) we struggled mightily with the smell of sewer gas in the residence, which we reported to management. The smell came from the main floor shower drain, and we ultimately determined a way to deal with the smell(s) ourselves by placing a wet towel over the drain and running water to fill the drain. This helped. It was truly awful, long-term smell. We of course understand Rhodes has an anicent sewer system but this smell was interior to the residence. The Graf Homes promised to check it "with an expert." b) We stayed at the property for four nights. At about 700 am on Day 4, heavy construction began in terms of pipe/concrete cutting and cabinet installation on the Graf Homes residential unit shared with our unit. The work stopped around 300 p.m., but the noise all day was horrific. We had planned to stay in the unit that day to prepare to depart and to rest. Resting became a difficult task. c) Tone of the Graf Homes correspondence: as experienced worldwide travellers, we understand things cannot always be perfect. But we *do* expect value for what we spend. After we noted the plunge pool might have a pH issue, it was clear in writing the corporate reps did not appreciate our feedback. When we informed corporate of the smell, it was suggested "someone may have thrown something in the toilet..." (Did they mean us?) and they commented "Why didn't you tell us about the smell when we came out for the plunge pool?" (the smell got worse only later that day) and "Our person was there today- he didn't smell anything.." (he was wearing a mask due to Covid-19 concerns.)
Request a picture of access to the stairs before booking as it might be challenging for some to reach the 2nd floor (only bedroom).
The property is lovely and nice-looking. But there were serious difficulties with our stay which we felt the management just put back on us in a non-accountable way. Beware.
